AC Milan have reached an agreement in principle with Antwerp over the sale of Fode Ballo-Toure, according to a report.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are continuing to try and find a destination for Ballo-Toure and they want at least €4m for a permanent sale. In the last few hours, an agreement in principle has been reached with Belgian champions Antwerp.
Milan is pushing to sell Ballo-Touré to Antwerp but the player is not open to the idea because he wants to reopen the talks with Werder Bremen.
The left-back had put the German club on hold because he wants to return to Ligue 1 but at present there are no concrete offers from there. That’s why he now considers a transfer to the Bundesliga more attractive than the offer from Antwerp.
Despite a long negotiation that has been going on for at least a month, Milan have not yet found an agreement with Werder Bremen because they want a loan with option to buy and the Rossoneri are insisting it be an obligation.
A new set of talks between Ballo-Toure’s agent and the Milan management is expected in the next few days to try to find a solution that satisfies all the parties involved.
Only problem is that Ballon d’Ore himself has already rejected the destination.
I think this man doesn’t know what he wants. He had many contacts with many clubs and yet didn’t seem to have made up his mind.
1st of all he wanted to be back to France but no one offered to buy him.
He wanted Bremen but they didn’t reach agreement yet with us.
He didn’t want to join Antwerp but they already reach agreement with Milan.
