Milan have been very active thus far this summer and given that they will compete in the Champions League next season, it’s certainly understandable. One of the priorities has been to retain the loanees, including Sandro Tonali.
The Rossoneri have been in talks with Brescia recently to lower the price tag that was set last summer. The 12-month loan cost €10m and the buy-out was set at €15m, plus an additional €10m in bonuses (€35m total).
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, speaking live on Sky Italia (via MilanNews), Milan have managed to obtain a €10m discount as the deal will now cost €25m in cash. The buy-out is now made up by €10m cash and an additional €5m in bonuses.
However, in order to reach this agreement, Paolo Maldini agreed to send Giacomo Olzer to Brescia in return. The Primavera star will join the club on a permanent basis but Milan will have a buy-back clause included in the deal.

This is a bad idea
I really like the idea of sales with buy-back clause. Plus they are Serie B side, so we wont register any significant loss if we are bringing him back, and Brescia will be more keen to use him more, as they can earn decent money if he delivers. And the most important thing is, we got 10m discount, that is huge for now.
If that’s true, and I’d be surprised because Brescia have little incentive to negotiate, it would also need the consent of Olzer too. Now Brescia is a fine club and he wouldn’t need to move very far, but still a big decision for a young kid in a major academy.
Big mistake
Wow, olzer is a top talent, i prefer sent someone else like caldara or conti
What happened to Brescianini? Like for like? Why all of the sudden give them Olzer? Didn’t they just resign him for doing so well with the primavera this season? Is this how Milan will always reward its young-stars? Shake my head.
I guess Hauge is next…
Have you read the article? We will have a buy-back clause on Olzer. Brescianini was loaned to Monza.
It made little sense with the buy back clause
50% of his contract should have been bought back like the deal we have on pessena with atalanta
