CorSport: Maldini expected to negotiate €12m midfielder fee despite lack of playing time

AC Milan are planning on renegotiating the terms of the loan deal with Wolfsburg for Aster Vranckx, according to a report.

Vranckx has not seen any playing time since the 2-2 draw against Lecce at the beginning of the year as Stefano Pioli clearly seems to see him as being down the pecking order in midfield, as evidenced by the fact Tiemoue Bakayoko has had more minutes since.

Despite this, Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) report that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara believe in the qualities of the Belgian and in the coming weeks they will evaluate the possibility of making him a permanent signing.

The option to buy is currently set at €12m, a figure currently considered high by the two directors, and for this reason they will negotiate with the Bundesliga side to lower the figure. In the meantime, the Belgium U21 international continues to put in extra work to try and convince Pioli.
