AC Milan have had their opening offer of €4 million rejected by FC Midtjylland for Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika, a report claims.
As has been reported by Tuttosport today (via Milan News), the Rossoneri have launched an assault for the midfielder but they will need to make a new offer to secure his services.
The first offer was made and was for €4 million but it is believed that the Danish side want at least double that figure.
The 21-year-old midfielder seems to be the player that technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Frederic Massara have settled on to bring depth to that part of the squad.
The fact that FC Midtjylland were knocked out of the Champions League qualifying rounds has strengthened Milan’s bargaining position slightly as the Danish side will not be getting the large amount of money that comes from the group stages.
Milan are expected to continue trying to sign him.
