AC Milan thought that they were making good ground in their pursuit of Jean Onana but Bordeaux have slammed the brakes on things, a report claims.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bordeaux made one thing clear today during talks with the agent of the Cameroon international: Onana must be bought. The meeting established that the French club are not open to a loan formula, so Milan are now facing a crossroads.
The Rossoneri were hoping for a loan with option to buy deal but now they have two choices: either buy Onana outright for between €5-7m or move on and spend the remaining budget on a central defender or another midfield target.
Raphael Onyedika meanwhile seems to have vanished off radar now as there is no agreement or anything close to one with FC Midtjylland. The Danes still want €10m to sell the 21-year-old, so the chances of him coming are very low, while Aster Vranckx of Wolfsburg remains an idea.
The lack of urgency in bringing in CB and DM reinforcements along with this being the 6th transfer window in a row where Maldini fails to bring in a proper RW is worrisome.
If anything happens it probably be on the last day of the window, but I honestly don’t except anymore signings.
Hopefully our starters at CB and DM don’t get tired or injured until the WC starts
“Under Elliott Management Milan have drastically improved their balance sheet, going from a loss of €194m in June 2020 to €96m as of June 2021”
Perhaps Maldini and company feel they are sufficiently covered in RW. We may all disagree but it is their job to build the squad with the provided budget so they must feel other depth positions take priority.
“We may all disagree but it is their job to build the squad with the provided budget so they must feel other depth positions take priority.” -Honest Truth.
scudetto last season proves they know their job better than we do
Totally agree. Every time I think about criticising management for this and that, I stop myself with the same word: scudetto. They definitely deserve trust
LOL. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
*expect
Just pay bordeaux 5m euro . Transfer market almost close . We will suffer with just pobega,krunic,bakayoko for depth in double pivot.
