Rade Krunic could leave AC Milan in January as the renewal talks have hit a stalemate. And with Ismael Bennacer on the brink of making his comeback, the Rossoneri have lowered the price tag set in the summer.
Krunic was an important player at the start of this season, showing his qualities in the absence of Bennacer. However, in the last month and a half or so, he has struggled and Milan are now evaluating their options for the future.
According to Daniele Longo, Milan no longer consider the Bosnian unsellable and are open to offers in January. The price tag was €10-12m in the summer, but now the Rossoneri are willing to settle for a lower figure.
The parties have begun talks over a contract renewal but not much progress has been made. Krunic is asking for around €3m, double his current salary, but Milan are willing to offer around €2m. This is another factor that could prompt the sale.
Earlier today, it was reported that Fenerbahce still are interested in the midfielder and that they could make a new offer in January. As Milan’s demand has decreased, the feeling is that a transfer could materialise this time out.
