It is no secret now that AC Milan had set their sights on Barcelona's left back Junior Firpo in order to make life less harder for Theo Hernandez, by coming up with a solid back-up for the French.
However, the Rossoneri's path to secure the 24-year-old's services wouldn't be a walk in the park, at least not after Premier League side West Ham has entered the transfer battle according to Sport.
In fact, Milan's proposal is still attracting the Spanish like no other. Nonetheless, the Hammers are anything but written out of transfer race, since they might turn the situation around with making a better offer to the Blaugrana.
For his part, Barca's manager Ronald Koeman would avoid losing his left-back as the Catalans' squad is running out of full-backs at the moment with Firpo being the only alternative to Jordi Alba.
