AC Milan managers are waiting for a definitive answer from the starting attacking midfielder that Stefano Pioli considers a pillar of his system, Hakan Calhanoglu. The contract is set to expire in a few weeks and no extension has been signed and filed yet.
Today's edition of Tuttosport takes stock of the situation and writes that Rodrigo De Paul remains one of the targets for the club if the Turkey international playmaker does not continue his adventure at the San Siro.
However, to make the transfer operation go through, it will need a lot of effort from Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
There are no economic favourable conditions that allow to make such an expensive signing: the offer of the club is far from Udinese's demands.
Then, it is also very difficult to lower the cash demands by including a technical counterpart because Udinese are hard to convince of this idea.
