Tuttosport: Chances of Faivre’s arrival in January drop as Milan focus on other targets

The chances of AC Milan signing Romain Faivre during the January transfer window have dropped significantly, according to a report.

Faivre was heavily linked with a move to Milan over the summer and he tried to force it through by not showing up for an away game. He caused a stir by giving an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport earlier in the week where he revealed that he is charmed by Paolo Maldini’s phone call and dropped a strong hint that he is gearing up for the move, even claiming he has spoken to former Monaco team-mate Fode Ballo-Toure about the club.

This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) discusses Milan’s strategies in view of the winter transfer market. The paper confirms that the Rossoneri have followed the French playmaker for a long time and the 23-year-old would be delighted to move to Milan.

However, recently the chances of Milan actually signing him have dropped because at the moment Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have other targets in mind for the role.
