AC Milan are not counting themselves out of the race for Davide Frattesi yet and they could use counterparts to lower the cash sum required, a report claims.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Frattesi could be the ‘X-factor’ of the window for Milan. Head coach Stefano Pioli is a big fan of the Italy international, while the management spoke about the player with his agent Giuseppe Riso.
They have not opened any talks with Sassuolo yet. There was a meeting initially scheduled for this week but it now cannot be delayed. The operation for Milan is feasible too, because Frattesi is expensive but not beyond their reach.
Lorenzo Colombo or Daniel Maldini could become part of the negotiations because both are admired by the Nerazzurri. With the inclusion of a counterpart, less than €30m will be enough as a cash sum.
Milan are thinking about it and doing so seriously, but Inter remain on pole and Marcelo Brozovic’s move to Saudi Arabia would allow them to complete everything.
