When the first rumours of negotiations between Milan and Napoli for the transfer of Musah emerged, it seemed that a ‘lightning operation’ could be set up between the two teams, and that the American would soon head to join Antonio Conte’s team.
Musah deal stalls
Instead, the situation seems to have hit the buffers. As reported by Fabrizio Romano on his Italian YouTube channel (via MilanNews), the negotiations are currently blocked.
The obstacle that hinders the handshake between the two clubs is the agreement on bonuses. There are problems in finding a meeting point both on the amount of add-ons and the structure of them, i.e. whether they are easy or more difficult to achieve.
It seems like the kind of thing that will be quickly resolved, but, Romano confirms, it is an important and substantial part of the operation, so talks will continue to try reach a handshake.
An agreement between Musah and Napoli has been there for days. The former Valencia man will be able to move once the managements of the two clubs find a point of agreement on the bonus issue.
As a reminder, Matteo Moretto reported over the weekend that the Rossoneri and the Partenopei had already agreed to resume discussions this week.
