Giornale: Raiola the reason Milan’s interest in possible Calhanoglu replacement has cooled

AC Milan were thinking of a move for Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul this summer but their interest has now faded, according to a report.

This morning’s edition of Il Giornale (via MilanNews) writes that Milan were strongly considering De Paul as a potential option to replace Hakan Calhanoglu, whose contract is set to expire at the end of next month with nothing suggesting that a renewal is imminent.

However, the Rossoneri’s interest in the Argentine has faded in recent days when it was understood by the management that Mino Raiola has intervened again, tripling the requests for his client.

After the conclusion of the Gianluigi Donnarumma saga and the bad feeling between the parties, it seems that Milan will have to move on to other targets if the Turkish attacking midfielder does indeed decide to leave the club at the end of his current contract.
