Milan wants to entrust the team’s playmaking to Granit Xhaka, the object of desire for both Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri. The Swiss midfielder is not just a target for the Rossoneri club, but rather the main target to reinforce the midfield. Leadership and knowledge in favor of a team that needs certainties in order to become competitive again next season. The contacts with his entourage in recent days have encouraged Milan to begin a true and proper negotiation with Bayer Leverkusen.
A 10 million euros offer from AC Milan to Bayer Leverkusen for Xhaka?
The rumors gathered at the end of last week have gradually found more and more confirmation: in the coming hours, Milan will try to initiate a first discussion with Bayer Leverkusen to attempt to convince them to let go of Xhaka. The German club had let it be known that they wished to keep the captain of the Swiss national team, especially after already saying goodbye to key players such as Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz, and Jeremie Frimpong. Granit is a player also very much appreciated by the new German coach, Erik ten Hag. Igli Tare wants to go all the way for Xhaka, with great determination. According to what has been reported today by those at the Italian website calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri club will put on the table a sum close to €10 million, bonuses included, to try to obtain the German club’s approval.
Malick Thiaw to be included in the negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen?
Bayer Leverkusen is looking for a central defender, and among the profiles they like is that of Malick Thiaw. At the moment, the discussion is separate from that of Xhaka, but it is clear that the developments of one could influence negotiations for the other. In the coming hours, on the occasion of the first contact between the two clubs, Igli Tare will understand the Germans’ true intentions regarding Thiaw. Watch out for the Allegri factor, however: Malick Thiaw enjoys the esteem of the ex Juventus boss, who would also be tempted by the opportunity to enhance him as has never happened before during his time in Italy. Milan, therefore, is open to listening to proposals for Thiaw but has no intention of selling him off.
