AC Milan insist on Atletico Madrid star Angel Correa and are willing to wait until the last days of the summer to complete a transfer.
MILAN NEWS – Atletico Madrid star Angel Correa remains AC Milan’s top transfer target. The 24-year-old Argentine second striker and the Rossoneri have agreed personal terms but reaching a deal with the Spanish club has proven difficult.
The distance between Atletico Madrid’s demand of €55 million and the €40 million plus bonuses offer of Milan is still important, but Rossoneri are determined to bring at San Siro their man even if that means waiting until the end of the summer transfer window.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, that’s precisely the strategy of the Rososneri. AC Milan want to offer a natural trequartista and not an adapted one like Suso. AC Milan will temporize and try to close a deal in the last days of the summer transfer target in order to force Atletico Madrid to lower their economic claims.
The Rossoneri are in comfortable position because the club has already agreed personal terms with Correa. The Argentine player recently rejected a move Monaco and has handed a transfer request indicating he intends to join only Milan.
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone hinted that Angel is on his way out: “Correa? I am satisfied with him, he has been training well since the start of summer. But we are open to everything that could happen. And on the transfer market, things always happen at the end“.
