Milan-Carrasco, negotiations continue ahead
AC Milan remain interested in signing Yannick Ferreira Carrasco from Chinese club Dalian Yifang despite the competition of Manchester United.
TRANSFER NEWS MILAN – Negotiations between AC Milan and Yannick Ferreira Carrasco continue ahead. The Belgian winger has became the number one target of the Rossoneri to reinforce the offensive area. But now AC Milan we must also deal with the competition of other clubs.
According to reports from the English press, new Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who took over from Jose Mourinho less than a month ago, is also interested in the Dalian Yifang left winger. The Red Devils have no problems of an economic nature and above all can guarantee the player participation in Champions League. AC Milan on the other hand failed to qualify for the next phase of Europa League and access to Champions is yet to be earned.
And still, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have a very good chance of landing the services of Carrasco. Contacts look promising but there are two obstacles to overcome. First of all Leonardo must convince the player to drastically reduce his salary (in China he earns 10 million a year, more than Higuain, the second highest paid player of Serie A after Cristiano Ronaldo). If Milan and Carrasco, who is willing to take a big pay cut, agree personal terms, then the Rossoneri will negotiate with Dalian Yifang perhaps proposing a loan with the right to buy.
Yannick Ferreira Carrasco
Although a difficult operation, the Rossoneri can count on the enormous desire of Yannick Ferreira Carrasco to return to Europe. He left European football too early and has now realized it. Playing for Milan and helping the team achieve Champions League qualification is a fascinating hypothesis. Enough to reduce his salary a lot? We’ll see.
