Ligue 1 side Nice have triggered a clause in the contract of reported AC Milan target Allan Saint-Maximin, a report claims.

Recent reports from SportMediaset suggested that Milan may still get their man, as Leonardo has reached a rough agreement with Nice.
Now, Calciomercato.com transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that a new clause has been activated in the contract of the 21-year-old, whose deal was due to expire in 2020.
The club has moved to automatically extend the length of Saint-Maximin’s contract until 2022 – but that apparently doesn’t change Milan’s chances of signing the player in the summer.
Nice value their star wide man at €35million, the report claims, but Leonardo could face competition from a number of other top European sides.
