AC Milan decided to walk away from a deal to sign Tommaso Mancini from Vicenza thus paving the way for his move to Juventus, a report claims.
Milan negotiated with Vicenza over the signing of the teenage striker who they wished to recruit in order to bolster the strikeforce of the Primavera allowing Marko Lazetic to leave on loan.
According to what was reported by today’s edition of La Repubblica (via SempreMilan.it), the move broke apart due to the commissions requested by Mancini’s entourage.
In addition to the transfer fee that would have been paid to Vicenza, Mancini’s family made a request for €2m in commissions and that was declined by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara who have always had a firm stance on money being spent outside of the deal.
However, the request seems instead to have been accepted by Juventus who are now preparing to formalise the deal.
