Reports: Vlasic back in fashion for Milan – loan with obligation to buy offer ready

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are reportedly ready to try their luck with a new bid for CSKA Moscow star Nikola Vlasic with another objective fading.

With Josip Ilicic removed from the market by Atalanta as Gian Piero Gasperini convinced the Slovenian to stay in Bergamo, Milan will make a new attempt for Nikola Vlasic of CSKA Moscow as per the Russian portal euro-football.ru.

The contract has already been agreed between Milan and Ilicic but Gasperini was able to persuade the 33-year-old to stay at Atalanta. Now, Milan will again try to come to an agreement with CSKA for Vlasic who is a target admired by Stefano Pioli, but the Rossoneri are still reluctant to carry out a permanent transfer this summer.

The club will try to convince CSKA to let the Croatian attacking midfielder leave on loan with an obligation to buy, with his market valuation currently around €30m. Meanwhile, La Gazetta dello Sport journalist Carlo Laudisa (via MilanNews) confirmed that Milan are still thinking of Vlasic as an option, with the competition of Zenit now gone as they have signed Claudinho instead.

    1. Ziyech is maybe the better player but with 28 years. So from a financial standpoint vlasic is the better choice. Also ziyech is not a central midfielder. He needs to be a right midfielder/winger.

      1. In addition to what u just said, ziyesh is an African player who is expected to play for his country during the next ACN that means Milan will be without top 4 players from the squad.

  1. So you mean that samu is leaving , illicic isn’t coming, then give maldini chance at the right wing. Vlasic can be your CAM

  2. Trust me we will end up not signing anyone for the attacking midfielder role. They are just targeting people but not signing anyone.. this season will be a disaster

    1. It is evident that Milan will deploy Diaz /Krunic as CAM. Florenzi will cover the right wing, while Adli is box to box and backup for Diaz /Krunic. It is not clear who will act as third attacking player. As far as it goes for Ziyech, Vlasic, Ilicic, James, Isco etc etc these are just weak attempts from the management to see if these clubs are desperate to off load these unwanted players and reduce the salary costs. We need to have patience and luck

  3. We need to have patience. Before buying we need to sell first. Let’s hope Maldini convince Getafe that they need Samu 😜
