Moretto: Musah ‘close’ to joining Atalanta as Milan will receive €25m offer

Yunus Musah is now just one step away from leaving AC Milan, as Atalanta are ready to submit an official offer to the Rossoneri. 

Musah has been linked with an exit all summer long. Even when it seemed like Max Allegri was keen on keeping him around, the rumours didn’t stop. As such, it’s not exactly surprising to hear that the American could leave in these final days of the mercato.

Milan are pushing for the arrival of Adrien Rabiot, who is a direct request by Allegri, and they subsequently need to offload one of their midfielders. In terms of money to be made and the pecking order, Musah is the obvious choice.

Musah ever closer to Atalanta

As reported by Matteo Moretto in his latest YouTube video, Rabiot’s arrival would inevitably push Musah to the door. Contacts are ongoing between Milan and Atalanta over a transfer and the player has said yes to the destination.

Therefore, it can be described as a ‘fairly advanced negotiation’ for the time being, and Atalanta are ready to submit an offer of around €25m on the table. As Moretto concludes, Musah is now truly ‘close’ to joining the Bergamo side.

It would allow Milan to push for Rabiot’s arrival, while Atalanta could also sanction the sale of Marco Brescianini to Napoli.
