La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Nicolo Schira meanwhile claimed that Tottenham have called on the help of intermediary Frank Trimboli to help them open talks, with reports of a €32m bid being readied from journalist Louis Girardi.
Everything seemed to points towards the exit door for Piatek, who joined a year ago from Genoa but has scored just one from open play this season so far.
However, according to a report from SportMediaset – as cited by MilanNews.it – there may be a shock twist.
The outlet claims that head coach Stefano Pioli’s decision to change system to a 4-4-2 with two strikers up top could change Milan’s plans for the 24-year-old.
The outlet believes that Piatek could now stay at Milan beyond January, and that the club’s hierarchy could postpone his eventual farewell to the summer.
