According to the latest from La Gazzetta dello Sport, there has now been an important update concerning a potential deal between the two clubs, because La Dea have softened their stance somewhat after initially demanding €7-8m up front.
The new news is that Atalanta have opened up to the possibility of a paid loan, given that they have an option to extend his contract – expiring in June 2022 – by a further year. Thus, the Slovenia international seems to be getting closer to being Milan’s sixth addition of the summer transfer window.
