AC Milan are ‘in love’ with the Strasbourg right-back Gela Doue and a new offer is being prepared for the French side, according to a report.
Following the departures of Davide Calabria, Kyle Walker and soon also Emerson Royal, who is undergoing medicals for Flamengo today, Milan need to sign a right-back. With Pervis Estupinan in place for the opposite side, only this signing is needed to complete the defence.
Quite a few players have been linked with the Rossoneri in recent weeks, above all Marc Pubill, but they pulled out of the deal at the last second and Atletico Madrid swooped in. The only main target remaining, as such, is Guela Doue.
Strasbourg want €30m
According to Fabrizio Romano, Milan are ‘in love’ with Doue as they are convinced that he’s a player with significant potential. As such, they are also ready to improve their offer in order to get closer to Strasbourg’s demands.
However, the French side are putting up a wall as they believe that today, the 22-year-old is worth £25m, so close to €30m. Furthermore, they believe that this figure could easily rise to €40-45m if the player is given one more year at the club.
That is also why Strasbourg are yet to give the green light to Milan. The Rossoneri will try until the very end before they will be forced to move on to other targets, but for now the deal remains complicated (albeit not closed).
