Both Atalanta and AC Milan are focusing on the last game of the season. The Bergamo side want a win to finish the second in the league, while the Rossoneri need a win to secure the top 4 finish and entry to the Champions League's next edition.
However, besides the game tomorrow night, another matter brings both clubs in the same conversation: Josip Ilicic. The player is a skilled Slovenian 34 year-old attacking midfielder who has proved himself in the last few seasons that he is one of the most important players of Gasperini.
With the renewal negotiation, the chances of seeing Hakan Calhanoglu far from the Devil grow day by day and in this sense Maldini and Massara have begun the search for a player who will take over the Turk's duties.
By age, Ilicic is not part of the green project that Elliott had started, but for knowledge of the Italian championship and costs it can be an economic opportunity.
In the plans of the Rossoneri, they would like to repeat the operation made by Sevilla with Gomez by putting one on the plate a figure between 4 and 6 million euros: a modest compensation and that would not be aggravated even from the point of view of the salary, considering that in Bergamo the Slovenian earns 1.8 million per season until 2022.
More updates and talks will be clearer on Monday, once the season's over to understand how the future of Calhanoglu will look like. Until then, the Rossoneri at Casa Milan only look forward to the game at hand in the Gewiss Stadium.
