Fodé Ballo-Touré's situation is still a complicated one. The AC Milan left-back has still not found a new team to join despite interest from different clubs in him already this summer. The Rossoneri are hoping that they can sell his card on a 4 million euros deal on a permanent transfer, and it seems that they have reached a preliminary agreement with Belgian champions Antwerp, who are coached by former Milan player Mark Van Bommel.
In fact, Milan is pushing to transfer Ballo-Touré to Antwerp, but the player is not open to the Belgian destination as he would like to reopen discussions with Werder Bremen. Fode had put the German solution on hold because he wants to return to Ligue 1, but currently, there are no concrete offers from that league. That's why he now considers a move to the Bundesliga more enticing than the proposal from Antwerp.
Despite a lengthy negotiation that has been ongoing for at least a month, Milan has not yet reached an agreement with Werder Bremen. The German club has presented a loan offer with a buyout option for a sum close to 4 million euros. However, The club directors wants an obligation to buy.
In the coming days, a new contract is expected to be signed between Ballo-Toure's agent and the Rossoneri management, in an attempt to find a solution that satisfies all parties involved, as per Calciomercato.com.
