AC Milan are ready to actually bid higher than the release clause for Fenerbahce’s Arda Guler in order to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to his signature, a report claims.
As has been reported by Fanatik (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are ready to actually bid around €22 million for Guler, which is more than the €17.5m release clause in his contract.
Added to that €22m will be the bonuses and a percentage of the future resale of Guler. This would be the highest offer made for Guler and Milan hope it will be enough to fend off the serious interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid, offers that may be more attractive to the player.
Barcelona would be ready to include Guler in the first team straight away, which is not the case for Real Madrid.
This sort of move is only really possible with the sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle.
