AC Milan could miss out on Marseille winger Florian Thauvin as Sevilla want to get a deal done in the current window, a report claims.
Calciomercato.com reported late last year that Milan have tabled a four-year contract worth €3m net per season, with the idea being to bring him in for next season and avoid paying a transfer fee.
Paolo Maldini seemingly publicly declared interest in Thauvin just before that report came out, much to the annoyance of Marseille boss Andre Villas-Boas, and speculation has continued that Milan want the 27-year-old.
According to Estadio Deportivo (via MilanNews) though, Sevilla are trying to beat everyone in the race to land Thauvin, including Milan.
The Andalusian club will try to sell Franco Vazquez in the coming days as well as Carlos Fernández, and from the exit of the aforementioned duo they hope to have the money needed to buy Thauvin in January.
Is milan acting as scout and agent for others club with the way clubs r snatching some of our long term target
Idris
Sometimes i wish we did that to Juve or Bayern targets
I think you may have something there
In the past every other big clubs have followed Milan to chased them in the market leaving ACM with nothing
I wish them good luck because they will need a bag full
It same juve that snatch chiesa after we were long link with him and the same player came to hurt us with two goals
There is no one capable of playing the RW, hence Milan should sign thauvin ASAP if they really want the scudetto and put an end to Juve’s reign!!!
