Mediaset: Milan abandon Onyedika pursuit and focus on loan move for Bundesliga midfielder

AC Milan have decided to focus their efforts on signing Aster Vranckx from Wolfsburg as they continue to push for a new midfielder, a report claims.

Claudio Raimondi told SportMediaset (via MilanNews) that the Raphael Onyedika idea has been abandoned as time is running out and FC Midtjylland are continuing to ask for at least €10m to sell the 21-year-old, which the management deem to be too much.

That is why the focus is now on Aster Vranckx, a 19-year-old Belgium U21 international who is currently plying his trade at Wolfsburg, where he broke through last season after a move from KV Mechelen in his home country.

He is a midfielder that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are working to bring in on loan but at the moment it is difficult as the Bundesliga club do not want to let him leave on a temporary basis, but negotiations are underway.
