AC Milan have been offered the chance to sign Everton playmaker James Rodriguez, according to the latest from one journalist.
After a long and protracted saga, Hakan Calhanoglu decided to bid farewell to Milan fans in the most spiteful of ways: signing with cross-town rivals Inter. Multiple sources reported that Calhanoglu asked for €5m net per season throughout the negotiations and was offered €4m per year by Paolo Maldini, with the management firmly believing that they had made the best offer for the 27-year-old.
Now, the hunt for his replacement is underway. According to Colombian journalist Diego Rueda, the Rossoneri have been offered the chance to sign James Rodriguez from Everton, presumably by his agent Jorge Mendes who the club met with last week.
The 29-year-old made 23 league appearances for the Toffees last season amassing 6 goals and 4 assists and could move on after his mentor Carlo Ancelotti left to go back to Real Madrid.
