Report: Samardzic talks hit stalemate as Udinese reject two Milan counterparts

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are currently in talks with both Lazar Samardzic’s entourage and Udinese over a transfer this summer. However, after the progress seemed promising at the start, the negotiations have now hit a stalemate according to a report. 

Paulo Fonseca has been working with his squad for a few weeks now and one of the takeaways seems to be that Ruben Loftus-Cheek should primarily play in midfield. As such, Milan have also been linked with signing a new No.10, namely Samardzic of Udinese.

However, as reported by Il Messaggero (via MilanNews), Udinese have rejected both of Milan’s counterpart options so far: first Tommaso Pobega then Yacine Adli. To get the deal over the skin, therefore, the Rossoneri would have to pay the full €25m (€20m base, €5m in bonuses).

Based on other negotiations this summer, Milan are probably reluctant to do that and it remains to be seen if the negotiations can be unlocked. Perhaps a departure of Adli or Pobega to another club would free up enough cash and space for the Rossoneri to satisfy Udinese.

In the meantime, Milan are focused on the friendly against Manchester City tonight and Loftus-Cheek is likely to occupy the No.10 role.

  1. Not even Udine want our players and so called Ac milan fans think our squad is great 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    1. I think you will find that it will s not so much the player thing in that they prefer cash n order to get the players they have in there plans.

      We do have a great squad we just need 3-4 more quality players to make us even stronger, the 4 for me are:
      Broja, Samardzic, Fofana and Pavlovic.

      You add these 4 to what we have and you looking at a top draw team in serie A and champions league

  2. Why not Ricci?! Torino at least likes Pobega and definitly a better cover for Bennacer than Adli and Pobega. Would be financially same operation and the upside is that he’s Italian and doesn’t have a r*tarded agent

  3. Fonseca is already set to fail with this incompetent management. And that’s the reason he was brought in the first place – if it was some top level coach he would have already demanded the players publicly. Bruh what’s the point of these balance sheets if we can go and spend even 20-30 mils on a player.. teams like Roma and even Fenerbahce 😃 had better mercatos until now. But excuses will be found anyway

    1. Bro look at Juve who are talking to agents of Todibo of Nice.
      Will they look at offering a stupid sum? I think not, and then you have Roma well lets not say anymore because it will make Furlani and Moncada look like children at a man’s negotiation table.
      I don’t believe Milan will address their position concerns so this means Fonseca will be looking for a new club sooner than later.
      Fans don’t forget Cardinale sacked Maldini and Massaro for Furlani and Moncada. Big Joke in reality hahah.

  4. Am a die hard ac Milan fan, but in as much as I love Milan I can’t help them buy quality players. At the end its the stupid management that will lose their money. I Will only feel bad. But for them they will surely lose money when it all goes wrong, idiots

  5. I don’t understand why every time we take so long to get in our targets. Every day it seems I am just reading the same news, with different headlines. Milan transfers are frustrating, even for the fans. We lost too many good targets in the past – Dybala, Alvarez, Enzo, etc, because we wasted too much time, and priced too low. The season starts next month, and, we are still haggling over average players like Emerson. We have the opportunity of signing quality players like Fofana, Lazar, and, we’re still doing the same thing. When we lose them, we start making excuses as if the alternatives are better. No one is saying that they should be reckless in spending, but, it doesn’t have to be this way all the time.

  6. The team is good to go with this: kalulu/Calabria, pavlovic/thiaw or kiwior, tomori/gabbia, Hernandez/jimenes and terraciano as addition for the defense. Reinjders/musa, Ruben/fofafa or Rios/ricci, and zeroli as addition in central midfield, samardzic/Aldi, pulisic/chucks, leao/okafor and salermaekers as addition for the wings, morata/fulkrug or Abraham. Maignan or mamadivilli/ sportiello and lapo and 3rd GP

  7. Wanna bet tonite’s result?

    MAN CITY 5
    MILAN 0

    …. but furlani with his dirty designer stubble will still be happy.

    1. you understand this is a preseason friendly with a new coach and missing starters, right? Like, you’re not THAT dense right?

  8. The “stalemate” is that Milan won’t bring him in until more mid’s are sold.

    Adli doesn’t want to leave and they don’t wan’t Pobega. They asked for Colombo but can’t agree on his valuation as a counterpart.

  9. LOLOLOLOLO…..of course

    We won’t pay $$ so we need player swaps – – of course

    What happens to that 100M transfer kitty??????

    I’m so glad we are a PROFITABLE club now – we can see it really paying off in us being able to sign all these targets!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

    Embarassing
