More talks are expected between AC Milan and Napoli later this week to try and untie the knots of the Yunus Musah negotiations.
The rumours of Musah potentially joining the Serie A champions first emerged last week and they exploded quickly, to the extent that it seemed a deal worth €20m+ was already very close to being agreed.
However, as often happens in these kinds of situations, there was a sudden slowdown in things. What filtered – according to Fabrizio Romano – is that the bonus structure could not be agreed upon between the two sides, with more talks needed to resolve things.
Musah to Napoli: The latest from Moretto
Speaking as a guest on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, the reliable Matteo Moretto took stock of the negotiations between Milan and Napoli for Musah, with his comments coming via MilanNews.
“I want to start with a detail. On Thursday, Napoli’s sporting director [Giovanni Manna] is expected in Milan. They also tell me to talk to Milan about the Yunus Musah situation , but we’ll understand why there could be many other meetings in Milan for other players,” he said.
“However, Napoli are certainly expected in Milan on Thursday. I’ve always told you that the Musah situation wasn’t, and isn’t, over. The clubs still have to discuss the bonus part of the operation, easy and difficult bonuses, the amount, 3, 4.
“It’s an operation that should have been around 25 million euros. We’ll understand if the two clubs will confirm this figure, 25, 26 million euros including bonuses, or if the figure could even be lowered. Evidently there isn’t an agreement between the two clubs yet and they’ll talk about it possibly on Thursday.”
I will sell him even for 10-15 mil tbh
You’d sell him for 500€ to have some money in your pocket.
We will regret this sale 100%. He is still young and Musah has quality. Not by chance that Conte wants him… Do not sell Musah!!!
He doens’t have quality and Conte prefers Lukaku to Osimehn. He is not God’s gift to coaching.
Yes, he knows the type of player he wants and wins with them. Irrelevant who you prefer if you get the result with your choices.
We have neither the environment nor the leadership to bring out the best in this kid. Conte will make him a monster.
Exactly. If Conte gets a bit of tactics in his head, he already has a world class physique. Don’t mind him being sold for the reason you wrote. We have a few more players like that. Where is Bondo? Terracciano looked reallY good before Milan…
Sure. Do you want a list of players that flopped under Conte?
How come headless Milan management wants to buy his useless player over 20m ?? They should be grateful that someone wants him. 17-20m it fair enough…
The best part is talking about Musah like he is not still a talent. Somehow the idea is he is a really bad player because he didn’t play well under Fonseca or Conceicao. Who did? He looks most like the player that can run for Modric, realistically. I guess they asked Allegri? 🤣
