Mohamed Simakan Of Strasbourg is now the first name for the Milan defense to strengthen the squad. There is a negotiation in place to sign the player.
According to Tuttomercatoweb.com the Rossoneri club is ready to offer 18 million euros to the French club. Distances are being worked on with Strasbourg, whom for now have not dropped from €20 million. However, the issue remains similar to the one with Kouadio Koné: The problem comes from Germany. Koné is heading to Borussia Monchengladbach, and now Leipzig are trying strongly for Simakan.
Leipzig would have matched Milan's offer of €15 million + €3 million but want to keep the player in France and bring him when the season ends to be replacing Upamecano. The French club will decide later but a lot also depends on the player's desire.
