Milan have finally accelerated their chase of a midfielder, and Jean Onana is currently the frontrunner over Aster Vranckx after Midtjylland rebuffed their advances for Raphael Onyedika. They are tight with Bordeaux, which need to sell due to financial problems.
According to Sky, the agents of the Cameroonian youngster will be in France today to try sealing the deal. He has been spared in the most recent match versus Grenoble because his departure might be imminent. The Rossoneri wish to set up a loan option to buy. However, if necessary, they could put €5/6M on the table for a permanent transfer.
Les Girondins asked for €10M, but they are not negotiating from a position of strength following the relegation. The two sides concocted the Yacine Adli deal late last summer. Milan will attempt to conclude the negotiation for Onana in short order, or they would move on to Vranckx.
As per Alfredo Pedullà, the 19-year-old is pushing to join the Scudetto winners too. Wolfsburg could agree to an initial temporary spell with a €7/8M clause, preferably with some conditions triggering an obligation to acquire him. But he’s trailing the other objective at the moment.
Our Take on Milan Tracking Onana and Vranckx
The Rossoneri have ultimately elected to go with a prospect to fill in for Franck Kessié after striking out for Renato Sanches. It’s a little weird, considering they have two other ones in the same role, but they don’t have a ton to spend. The former is probably better suited because of his more defensive style, which is what they are missing. However, the choice will probably simply come down to price tags and formulas.
