CorSera: Why AC Milan turned down opportunity to sign Mandzukic

By Isak Möller -

Having scored just 11 goals in 12 games, it’s no secret that AC Milan need to reinforce their attack in January. Therefore, the Rossoneri directors are at work to identify possible solutions before the transfer window kicks off. 

According to today’s edition of Corriere Della Sera (via Calciomercato.com), Mario Mandzukic was an option for the San Siro side, as he isn’t included in the plans of Juventus. In fact, he hasn’t played a single minute this season.

However, per the newspaper, Milan turned down the opportunity due to the Croatian’s salary demands of €6.2m per year. Already paying a lot in wages, the Rossoneri are looking to cut down on expensive contracts.

Another name that has been linked with Milan is that of Moise Kean, as reported by Calciomercato.com. The striker’s agent, Mino Raiola, is unhappy with the situation at Everton and has proposed the player to the Rossoneri for a January move. Read more here.
