AC Milan seem to be continuing their attempts to sign Wilfried Singo from Torino and have offered a counterpart, a report claims.
Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) reports this morning that Milan are looking at signing a new right-back this summer given Sergino Dest’s loan has ended and Alessandro Florenzi has had numerous injury issues.
Singo is the name they have on their list, but Torino president Urbano Cairo wants €15m to sell him despite the fact he has less than a year left on his contract, with some interest in the Premier League too.
It seems at the moment that that Ivorian would prefer to remain in Serie A, and in that case Cairo would lower the demands down to €12m. Furthermore, Milan could pay part of Singo’s price by sending Junior Messias – valued at €4m – the other way.
The Brazilian would definitely approve of a return to Torino, having spent most of his stay in Italy in Piedmont before moving to Crotone.
They would also be able to pay the €1m net per season salary he gets at Milan in his contract valid until June 2025.
