Claudio Raimondi spoke to SportMediaset (via MilanLive) and explained how things currently stand between Milan and Club Brugge in the negotiations. He confirmed that the Rossoneri have offered €28m plus €3m in bonuses but that was rejected, with the Belgian side holding out for €35m.
However, it seems that Maldini and Massara have clear ideas about the plan to be adopted. The attacking midfielder has practically promised himself to the Rossoneri, and as such they have no intention of raising the offer.
Instead, they will leverage the 21-year-old’s will and in the meantime hope that Club Brugge realise the bid of €31m including bonuses is a fair offer, and will therefore decide to part with him. Such a waiting game can be dangerous if competition emerges.
