As per Corriere dela Sera, AC Milan are interested in signing the Juventus star who is available on a free transfer: Paulo Dybala. However, the obstacle is the salary request that is worth 7 million euros net per season.
But, in the last few hours, writes the newspaper, yesterday, some managers at Elliott in the London offices had a telephone call with the entourage of the Argentine star who is 28 years old. This was aimed to understand the status of the negotiations with the Nerazzurri and the player's economic demands.
In fact, the club's higher management seems intent on diverting the investments initially planned for the purchase of a defender (Botman of Lille at 30 million euros) on the strengthening of the attack, considering the age of Olivier Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
After all, inserting a big star can be considered an operation that can also be shared by Redbird, as a business card for the future. It was a chat, nothing more, not a negotiation principle. The fact remains that if Dybala were still free in July and reduced his economic demands, AC Milan would be ready to sign him up within Pioli's squad.
Certainly, Paulo Dybala would be an exciting name for Milan, more than Charles De Ketelaere of Club Brugge or Hamed Traore of Sassuolo (Sassuolo ask for 30 million euros).
Not sure if Paolo will appreciate having his funds diverted from a player that he handpicked, to buy someone that the Management, and not Paolo, wants.
