After the signings of Meité and Mandzukic, the Rossoneri management would have liked to end this week with a double signing to reinforce the defense by Tomori ( who will arrive today) and by Junior Firpo. But, unfortunately, the negotiations for the full-back collapsed.
According to the latest information of Gazzetta dello Sport, Firpo did accept to move to Italy to play for AC Milan since he plays very little for Barça with coach Koeman. But after an initial approval, Firpo had changed his mind. It seems that the player has chosen not to leave Barcelona for family reasons.
Firpo's wife has recently given birth and would not have followed him with the baby to Italy, for reasons of convenience. Firpo then preferred to decline the AC Milan offer, unwilling to spend the loan period alone.
He asked for a few more days of reflection, but time is running out and for this reason the negotiation seems destined to fail.
