Speaking on Sky Italia this evening (via MilanNews.it), Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed the Rossoneri’s interest and the negotiations with Barcelona. The Spanish side have slapped a €20m price tag on the left-back, but Milan have another idea.
Instead of an outright purchase, they are negotiating on the basis of a paid loan with an option to buy. Although the negotiation is difficult, contacts continue between the parties and they might be able to find a solution.
