News has emerged this afternoon that AC Milan are preparing another bid for Granit Xhaka in the next few days.
Igli Tare has been working overtime to get a deal for Xhaka in a good place. After all, Milan could massively use someone of his profile. On the pitch, he provides another solid midfielder, but his leadership qualities are what make him a standout.
So, the club are hoping to make him one of the first additions of the summer, and so far, their chances look strong. Especially with him seemingly pushing for the move after agreeing to a deal.
According to Calciomercato.com, Tare is ‘all in’ on the midfielder, hence his decision to travel to Germany to negotiate earlier this month. Whilst the Rossoneri were unsuccessful at first, they are going to have another go.
Last Friday, the Diavolo made a bid of €10 million, but it was not seen as enough for the German side, who hope for a figure near the €16m mark. So, another bid is expected in the next few days, as the report states.
With this bid, Milan should go closer to the asking price, perhaps including bonuses to aid the deal. There are positive signs, certainly, and with Xhaka’s position, only the issue with Leverkusen must be resolved.
