According to Italian journalist Daniele Longo, Sanchez has reached an agreement with AC Milan on joining, and the Bayern outrunner has a transfer fee of about 20 million. On the other side, Mourinho wants to sign American star Destin from Barca.
Milan's renewal talks with Casey broke down and had no intention of offering a new offer, with the Ivorian star set to leave the team for free in the summer. Milan have found a stand-in for Casey, with Portuguese midfielder Sanchez moving to the San Siro in the summer.
Sanchez, winner of the European Golden Boy, moved to Bayern in the summer of 2016 at the age of 19 for $35 million, but failed to gain a foothold, joining Lille two seasons ago. In Ligue 1, Sanchez found his senses back, scoring 1 goal and assisting 4 times in 21 games this season, and his performance was stable. Sanchez rose to fame at a young age, and now 24 years old, Milan believes he can shine again.
There is already a consensus between AC Milan and Sanchez that players will be happy to move to the San Siro Stadium. It is said that Sanchez has made "assurances" to Milan that he will see the Rossoneri as the first choice, and that Milan have a good relationship with the player's agent, Mendes, and that there will be no more problems on the player's side.
Now, AC Milan need to agree with Lille on the transfer fee, Sanchez's contract has 17 months to expire, he refuses to renew his contract, and Lille is not enough to ask for a high price. It is reported that Milan are willing to pay about 20 million transfer fees, which makes Lille basically satisfied, and there is no obstacle to transfer. Sanchez is priced at more than 30 million, and Milan can be said to have made a good deal.
Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic's contract is about to expire in the summer, and Milan need to decide on the fate of the Swedish superstar, who hopes to keep "Dafengxian". Speaking about the issue, Maldini said: "Ibrahimovic will never be a burden and if he doesn't want to continue, he will be the first to say so. We negotiated openly with Ibrahimovic, and he knew his situation. ”
The 40-year-old Ibrahimovic has scored eight goals in 15 league games this season and is in good form and Milan want to keep him. However, Ibrahimovic's injuries are starting to increase, and he has missed many games this season. In view of this, Milan hope that Ibrahimovic can accept a salary cut, Sweden's current annual salary is 7 million, Milan hopes to be able to reduce to 2.5 million, the salary reduction is relatively large, and it is not clear Ibrahimovic's attitude.
On the other side, Mourinho is looking for a right-back who has met Barca star Destin. After Koeman left the class, Dester lost his main position, and he is now a substitute for veteran Alves, with less stable playing time. It is said that Rome is willing to bid 20 million for Dest, which is slightly lower than the price at which Barca originally introduced him, and it is necessary to continue to increase the price.
