Moretto: ‘Full confidence to Koni De Winter’ – Milan decide against move for Chelsea man

AC Milan do not intend to take the negotiations with Chelsea over Axel Disasi any further, according to a report.

It is well known that Milan are looking for the right opportunity between now and tomorrow’s 20:00 CET deadline to strengthen the defensive department, with many different names having been linked in recent days.

Disasi deal off

One of the profiles that has been mentioned multiple times is Disasi, who is barely getting a game for Chelsea and therefore could arrive via a loan formula, which is what the Milan management are believed to be keen on.

Now, Matteo Moretto has provided the following update: “Milan are not intending to proceed with the negotiations for Axel Disasi. The Chelsea defender was proposed and evaluated by the Rossoneri club, but the intention is to give full confidence to Koni De Winter.”

According to what Fabrizio Romano reported yesterday, the 27-year-old had given full priority to joining Milan this window and he stalled on giving an answer to West Ham, who made an approach.

Whether Moretto’s update means that Milan have given up on signing a defender entirely is unclear, but it seems certain Disasi will not be following the path traced by many players from Stamford Bridge to the San Siro.
