While working on the sale of Fode Ballo-Toure, AC Milan have also identified the left-back’s successor. According to a report, Riccardo Calafiori is in pole position and the price tag has been revealed.
Ballo-Toure already has one foot out the door at Milan but his departure has been rather tricky for the Rossoneri thus far. Although many offers have arrived, there aren’t many that have convinced the Senegalese international.
According to Antonio Vitiello on his Youtube channel, Milan have identified the former Roma man Riccardo Calafiori as the replacement for Ballo-Toure. He currently plays for Basel and he would cost the Rossoneri €3-3.5m.
It’s a fair price given that Milan will use the 21-year-old as a backup, and it should also be noted that the Swiss side only paid €1m for his arrival last summer. First, however, the departure of Ballo-Toure will have to materialise and this is something that the Rossoneri are working on.
Probably the best option on the market and he has good potential.
his valuation on transfermarkt exceeds what is suggested here in the article and even though it isnt an exact science he is valued there at 4.5 mil so i would expect him to cost a bit more but i do like this option as well.
That site while a useful resource can be off at times.
absolutely hence why i also said it isnt an exact science but his contract also ends in 2025 and they have an option for a further one so they propably should be able to get his valuation in my viiew but who knows what they will demand but pretty sure roma be entitled to get 40% of a future sale or something.

Ballo Toure isn’t even sold yet, and it doesn’t look easy to sell him
Yes. He could be another Bakayoko. If he refuses to move, they should terminate his contract.
