As the hours pass, it becomes more and more clear what has happened to make the deal that would see Mehdi Taremi join AC Milan collapse.
According to MilanNews, yesterday’s difficulties between the two clubs – with Porto having changed the economic conditions of the deal – had been overcome but it is those with the agents and intermediaries of the operation that are bringing the negotiations towards a dead end.
Jorge Mendes, Alireza Nikoomanesh and Pedro Pinto of Empower Sport have made very high financial demands for their commissions.
The way that the report puts it is as follows: “Basically, everyone wanted to dip their spoon into the cookie jar.” In other words, every party involved wanted a slice of the money.
This sudden change in the situation – after being one step away from closing the deal – has greatly irritated Milan, who continue to work on potential other options.
If no other target emerges within a few hours, Milan would find themselves forced to block Lorenzo Colombo’s move to Monza.
