CM: Spartak Moscow now in for Milan midfielder – the asking price set

We are one week into the January transfer window and developments seem to be happening all the time regarding potential incomings and outgoings for AC Milan.

Calciomercato.com report that ‘something has broken’ between Milan and Rade Krunic, and the parties are looking for a solution before the end of the month because even Stefano Pioli – his great defender in the summer – has admitted he can leave.

Fenerbahce were the team most strongly linked, but a new option has emerged because Spartak Moscow have swooped for the Bosnian midfielder and are preparing an attempt to bring him to Russia in this winter mercato.

The Turkish club tried again having already reached an agreement with the player in the summer without subsequently reaching an agreement with the Rossoneri, but they are yet to meet the asking price.

This is a situation that was confirmed recently by Geoffrey Moncada before the match against Empoli: “If the right offer doesn’t arrive, he won’t leave.” Message sent Fener: €5m plus bonuses are needed for Krunic to depart.

The same amount will be the starting point for discussions with Spartak Moscow, without closing the door to possible interests from Saudi Arabia too. The suitors for Krunic are increasing.
