Milan will now do everything possible and impossible to convince Real Madrid to green light a permanent transfer, something which is now a priority on the agenda of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara who do not want to lose a player Pioli considers to be fundamental.
However, the mission does not appear easy because indiscretions arrive from Madrid regarding the firm will of Los Blancos to bring him back to base as they believe he is ready to play for them.
