TMW: Saint-Maximin asks manager to sanction AC Milan move

AC Milan are struggling to find a breakthrough in negotiations for Nice star Allan Saint-Maximin, a report claims.

The Rossoneri are seemingly determined to add a wide player to Gennaro Gattuso’s squad before the deadline closes on Thursday, with a number of players linked.

Now, TMW claims that discussions took place overnight between Milan intermediaries and Nice to try and find an agreement over Saint-Maximin.

However, the Ligue 1 side are requesting a €10m loan fee, or a permanent deal of €25m – something which Milan are hesitant to agree to.

Saint-Maximin though has reportedly asked Nice coach Patrick Vieira to allow him to leave, but a deal does not seem close at this point.
