Mediaset: Zaniolo negotiations stall as RedBird refuse to budge on stance

The AC Milan management have not received the green light from owners RedBird Capital to improve the offer for Nicolo Zaniolo, a report claims.

According to what Claudio Raimondi reported for SportMediaset on Italia Uno (via MilanNews), there is pessimism regarding the possible signing of Zaniolo at Milan for two reasons above all.

The first is that Roma are not lowering their requests and continue to ask for a permanent transfer or an obligation to buy that is worth €30m and is without conditions, therefore virtually a guaranteed purchase.

Furthermore, the Rossoneri directors were awaiting the green light from the ownership to make a long-term investment, but a no came from RedBird. They will not make any extra budget available, and therefore any new addition can only come on loan with option to buy.

However, Roma are not willing to accept that formula at present and therefore the negotiation has stalled and as such the chances of seeing Zaniolo at Milan are falling. The negotiation is not completely finished, but pessimism filters in as RedBird have not made any opening.
