Rodrigo De Paul’s recent performances convince AC Milan to accelerate negotiations while the sale of Hakan Calhanoglu will finance the operation.
The Rossoneri have already purchased Lucas Paqueta for 35 million euros and have practically completed the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The latest idea of Leonardo for the advanced department is the name of Argentine international Rodrigo De Paul. The 24 year old left winger sent another signal to the Red and Blacks with his winning goal yesterday against Roma.
The message is clear: his two years at Udinese have served well and now De Paul is ready for a top club. With 6 goals and 3 assists in 13 Serie A appearances Rodrigo has been in scintillating form so far and WhoScored.com ranks him as the third best performer in the league behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Suso.
The Rossoneri are already in advanced contacts with both the player and Udinese. The player has clashed with Udinese’s management and is sure to leave Friuli at the end of the season. However, Milan are hopping to reach an agreement before January and later confirm everything in the summer.
Hakan Calhanoglu has an important part to play in this discussion. Both tactically and economically. In fact, the number 10 has never confirmed the top performances of last season with Gennaro Gattuso on the bench. Due to physical and family problems, Calhanoglu’s start of the season has been surprisingly underwhelming.
Rodrigo De Paul
Several Germany clubs want to take him back to Bundesliga with RB Leipzig the most interested team. AC Milan purchased Hakan Calhanoglu for an initial 20 million euros plus 4 in bonuses while his current market price is at around 30 million euros. The treasure requited to buy Rodrigo De Paul is already at home. The cost of the Argentine winger should not exceed 15-20 million.
