Inter’s advances for longtime transfer target Paulo Dybala have hit a snag, especially since the Nerazzurri confirmed the arrival of former hero Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, clearing an opening to other potential suitors, such as Milan.
The Nerazzurri will first have to rid their large 36-man squad in order to make space upfront and pay heed to reduce their wage bill that would largely be affected after a €6M net per season proposal was put forward.Amid the saga going on, Milan are in pole position to snatch the highly-rated Argentine playmaker from under their biggest rivals’ noses, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Virgilio).
The Rossoneri have completed the long-standing contract extensions of executives Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara. They will now focus completely on bolstering their squad with big names, with the ex-Palermo ace high on their wishlist. The need for a playmaker is clear for Milan and Stefano Poli, and Dybala would address it.
The Italian champions have an opportunity to sign him as he officially became a free agent. However, it is understood that the former Juventus man would have to settle for a much lower salary than the one offered by Inter. Milan have put forth a €4M net per season proposal. The Rossoneri are expected to initiate formal talks in the coming days with his agent Jorge Antun.
