Rodrigo De Paul's name was making Milan fans dream. But the Argentine will not wear the Rossoneri shirt because he is now very close to a transfer to Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish team beat the competition and reached an agreement with Udinese for about 35 million euros. Maldini and Massara had inquired about De Paul but they never started a real negotiation with Udinese because they could not spend that price. This is not good news because Calhanoglu's renewal is still on hold. Milan is still waiting for his decision.
Tonali's renewal is also at a standstill. There are still obstacles because Milan want to get a further discount. The midfielder feels he is now an AC Milan player and wants to continue his experience at AC Milan.
While waiting for news from Ibrahimovic (his recovery is not progressing well as we anticipated last week) Milan have reached a total agreement with Giroud's agents. The Rossoneri are now waiting for the Frenchman to talk to Chelsea to free himself.
Not only Giroud: the Rossoneri management is looking for another striker. As MilanNews reported, Maldini and Massara have begun talks with Stuttgart's Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic.
