Fode Ballo-Toure’s future is one of the puzzles that the AC Milan management are looking to try and solve, but a report has suggested that a solution might not be far away.
Having completed a deal for Youssouf Fofana with AS Monaco, Milan are now looking at trimming the squad by offloading players that are not deemed a part of Paulo Fonseca’s plans, and Ballo-Toure certainly falls into that category.
He arrived from Monaco to be the deputy to Theo Hernandez but never convinced, and last season he was sent out on loan to Fulham where he made virtually no impact, returning to Italy once the loan expired but not training with the first team.
According to Calciomercato.com, Ballo-Toure has already said no to joining Besiktas this summer, but a return to France could be on the cards. Milan are more than open to the sale of the Senegalese full-back and Saint-Etienne have come forward.
The player has said yes to the idea of joining them so what remains is to find a solution on an economic level over the transfer fee. In addition to that fee, Milan would save €2,676,062 next season when considering the amount of his amortisation plus his gross salary.
Take whatever Saint-Etienne is offering.
Yeah at this point any fee is a bonus. We just need to cut him loose without buying out his contract.
Just hope they can agree on the salary🤞
This. I think Milan are open for him to leave for small fee, as they even reported to think about mutual termination of contract.
The problem is, as last season was, the player cant agree to reduction in contract… i imagine Saint Etienne want him to reduce his salary to under 2m net.
Fodé should probably realize that he’ll never play for AC Milan, so if he really wants to go back to the EPL, it’s actually better for him to go to Saint-Etienne and maybe gain some playtime. Perhaps one day an english club will pay attention to him.
7th day is about to start.
Negotations:
Saint Ettiene: “We are interested in Balo,we would like to offer you a ..”
Milan : “Yes.OK.Deal.”
😂😂😂😂
Same with Origi
Let’s hope he passes the medical
How much his cost to saint Etienne ?
PRAISE JESUS!
