SM: Why Ballo-Toure’s situation is complicated and he could remain until January

The Fode Ballo-Toure situation has become complicated for AC Milan and there is now a risk that he ends up staying until at least January.

Ballo-Toure has been linked with a number of different clubs in the summer window thus far, with the likes of Fulham, Bologna and Werder Bremen all reported to have come forward and shown interest in the left-back.

According to what is being reported by our colleague Luca Maninetti of SempreMilan.it, the Ballo-Toure situation is ‘complicated’ and it remains the same as before.

The player wants to stay in Italy or return to France, which is why he is refusing several offers such as the ones that have come in from England and Germany.

Bologna seem to be out of the running to land him because Milan want a permanent solution and thus would only accept a loan with obligation to buy and not an option.

The risk of Ballo-Toure staying until January is now high as a result, and it is likely that he will continue to be excluded by Stefano Pioli.
