Matteo Moretto of Relevo has given an update on what he calls the ‘Taremi–Milan affair’, starting by confirming the news from Sky last night who stated Milan have had a bid turned down.
The journalist states that the first offer from the Rossoneri management was €13m and it was rejected, with Porto wanting €25m to sell the 30-year-old striker.
There will be other contacts between the clubs to try and close the gap between offer and demand, but there is ‘nothing imminent’ at present.
Milan do not want to pay more than €20m for a player who turns 31 this month and has just a year left on his contract, while Taremi for his part has already said yes to the move.
Moretto also touches on an important factor: the signing of Taremi would prevent the arrival of Samuel Chukwueze because he would take the last non-EU spot.
