Tuttosport: Milan ‘very close’ to agreement with Spurs – €3m difference with Salzburg

AC Milan are closing in on two new signings, following the arrival of Alvaro Morata, as the distance between offers and demands have been reduced significantly. Indeed, according to a report, the idea is to close both deals within ten days. 

Strahinja Pavlovic has been heavily linked with Milan for weeks now and after an initial distance between the clubs, it has now been more or less bridged. According to Tuttosport, as cited by MilanNews, the Rossoneri have come up to €22m while Salzburg are asking for €25m.

As for Emerson Royal, negotiations with Tottenham have been going really well and there is almost no distance anymore. The idea is to secure both of these signings in the next ten days and that should give them enough time with Paulo Fonseca ahead of the season opener.

Gazzetta dello Sport highlighted earlier today that the sale of Malick Thiaw could be behind Milan’s decision to re-open talks over Emerson Royal. This is because Pierre Kalulu, in the event of the German’s departure, would be more of a centre-back option for Fonseca than a right-back.

In any case, Milan are currently in the United States and will face Manchester City tonight, with three certainties in the starting XI.
