Memphis Depay has now got involved in the André soap opera, imploring Corinthians not to sell the young talent.
The André saga already seems to have descended into somewhat of a farce. Milan had essentially agreed a deal, and all the documents required to be signed were signed, in their eyes at least. However, the president of Corinthians stepped in and is making matters difficult.

He is trying to block things at the last minute by asking for more money, because of backlash from fans. As a result, Milan might end up walking away from the talks entirely, but there was also talk of legal action involving FIFA.
Fabrizio Romano tweeted the following: “AC Milan have no plans to improve their bid for André after Corinthians initially accepted the proposal for 2006 born midfielder. Milan have been clear: deal to be done soon at their conditions or it can really collapse.”
Underneath is a reply from André’s team-mate Memphis Depay, which reads: “André is one of the biggest talents I have seen so far in my career… Many clubs will come for our young star. So I hope we don’t rush him for the quick money. He’s a big bank player honestly.”
Earlier today, Fabrizio Romano spoke of there being an ultimatum on the part of the Milan directors, who expect an answer in the next few days regarding whether or not they can sign the teenager.
Talent is one thing. We’ve seen way too many greater Brazilian talents being wasted.
Honestly,
If we don’t get him, I won’t fault management, Paqueta didn’t turnout well for us. Been Brazilian isn’t a guarantee for anything, if he turns out well for another team, so be it.
Wasted talents are probably true about every nation. We’ve also seen some absolutely fantastic Brazilians. Cafu, Kaka, Pato, Thiago Silva, Robinho, Leonardo, Ronaldinho, Serginho, Rivaldo. And that’s just at Milan!!! If Andre’ is half as good as any of the above then, I’ll take that.
yeah but agreeing to a deal until media hype made you rethink is not professional
I have no idea what you are trying to say.
Story of your life it seems.
1) we had a deal
2) there was hype in media about the player
3) decided to bs and create a drama on a done deal
Milan need to sign him immediately before it’s too late for us, We all know the inflation in world football,we even spend more than that for unused players like Origi
Please try your possible best to him in San Siro I will glad. I am one fan in my area from Ghana
Please try your possible best to him in San Siro I will glad .
@bb only in this room of low IQ posters like you that make a living being wrong.
so was Gabigoal and he couldn’t do anything in Europe, so was Ganso, Lucas Moura… he is just trying to cover Corinthias unprofessional a$$es
Depay is getting paid ridiculous money (for his value) + hotel stay; he will jump, bark and roll-over for anything the director will tell him to do
