AC Milan are not making any ground in negotiations with Strasbourg over Guela Doue as a big gap over the transfer fee remains.
Matteo Moretto spoke in a video published on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel and he gave an update on the negotiations between Milan and Strasbourg for Doué, a target for the right-back role.

“Nothing has changed in the last few days. The gap between the two clubs is still very wide. Relations between Milan and Strasbourg, which are backed by the same ownership as Chelsea, are cold. The negotiations are therefore very complicated and at the moment it is a very cold trail,” he said (via MilanNews).
An alternative target?
It was reported by Sky late last night that Milan would make one last attempt to sign Doue from the Ligue 1 club, and if they were unsuccessful then they would turn to Marc Pubill of Almeria.
It is believed that the Spain U21 international is available for a lower fee, and given that time is of the essence that might be exactly why Igli Tare pivots targets.
Milan must also try to secure two full-backs quickly, as both the right and left sides will need starters. Alex Jimenez and Alexis Saelemaekers can fill in if needed but it seems obvious that they are not considered as nailed-on to take either full-back role, given they are better further forward.
Foolani will soon annouce that our starting RB next season will be Salemakers. I am sure of that, no one is coming.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dodo is in final year, isn’t gonna extend and proven in Serie A… crazy how bad we are with our targets… this moneyball bs doesn’t help
I wonder if Dodo is so good, why has no club been on his trail since he is in his last year? Btw I think Dodo is a good player but an attacking LB isn’t a good tactical fit with Leao.
Dodo is RB, not LB.
I don’t really know Vittorio Magni, but why not mold him and give him a chance? It’s not like Doué or Pubill will prevent us from finishing 8th this season. Same goes for Barthesaghi. What I’m saying is: if you invest, do it in a way that allows us to fight for top 4. If not, save money and put faith in our own youngsters. Pubill doesn’t even have La Liga experience.
Another year, another disastrous mercato….
