GdS: Strasbourg have ‘softened’ as Milan table offer worth over €23m for Doue

Guela Doue is the priority for the right-hand side of the defence,  and after having secured Pervis Estupinan for the opposite flank, AC Milan are keen on getting the deal done as soon as possible. 

Milan’s defence is starting to take shape, following Estupinan’s arrival, but the Rossoneri still need to add a right-back to their squad. Marc Pubill appeared to be just one step away but then Igli Tare pulled out of the deal.

As was reported by Fabrizio Romano, Strasbourg’s Doue is now the No.1 target for the position as Milan are ‘in love’ with the player. They believe he has fantastic potential, meaning he’s worth the investment this summer.

Third time’s the charm?

According to Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan are ready to put a third offer on the table. They initially offered €20m, which was then bumped up to €22m, and now the third offer will be worth over €23m.

Strasbourg asked for €30m to part ways with the 22-year-old at the start of the negotiations, but as a result of Milan’s willingness to come up, they have ‘softened’ a little in recent days. Meanwhile, contacts are constant between Tare and the player’s agents.

In short, there is some optimism that an agreement can be reached in the end. The outlook is certainly a lot better than just a few weeks ago, which says a lot.
