According to Calciomercato.com, Ballo-Toure will leave the Rossoneri and it is not just the club’s decision either, because the Senegal international wants to go and play more rather than remaining a deputy.
Bologna have shown some interest but only through a loan with option to buy deal structure, a formula that is not particularly appreciated by the Rossoneri who are aiming to make money immediately.
Contacts between Milan and OGC Nice have intensified over Ballo-Tourè in the last few hours. The Ligue 1 club have promised to submit an offer in the next few hours, and they are aware that CEO Giorgio Furlani’s request is €4m.
What filters from Milan is that they are confident that the negotiation can be closed positively.
