After failing to reach a deal with Atletico Madrid for Correa, and not enough time to complete a deal for Everton, AC Milan are looking at Taison.
MILAN TRANSFER NEWS – The summer transfer window closes tomorrow at 22:00 and a final signing is expected from AC Milan. A new reinforcement is needed in attack and the management is working on several targets.
Angel Correa was the number one target for a long time but negotiations with Atletico Madrid haven’t produced anything fruitful and at this point he seems more likely to stay in Spain. Too much distance between the parties on the economic evaluation of the player. It is also difficult to sign Gremio star Everton Soares, as four subjects have economic rights on the card. Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara and Zvonimir Boban are forced to evaluate new names.
Shakhtar Donetsk striker, Taison Barcellos Freda, is the new idea of the Rossoneri. The 31-year-old Brazilian plays in Ukraine since 2010 and Roma are also interested in his services. He is no longer young, but Milan like his profile enough to make an official offer.
According to Globoesporte, AC Milan club have opened talks with Shakhtar Donetsk. The player has a contract expiring in June 2021 and a release clause of 30 million euros. Shakhtar Donetsk requires the payment of the entire sum in order to let Taison leave.
Diego Dornelles, agent of Taison, confirmed contacts with the Red and Blacks: “The offer made by Milan was rejected and we are waiting for a new one“. Apparently AC Milan have indeed made an official offer but far from the €30 million requested. The Rossoneri management has put a lower figure on the table, even if the exact amount is not known.
AC Milan’s summer shopping campaign so far has been characterized by only young signings. The 31 year old Taison would represent a novelty, given his age. However, the club evidently believes that the Brazilian can still play several seasons on high levels and be useful to Giampaolo’s team.
