Milan have eyed Abou Diallo throughout the summer, but their interest appears to have waned. The Rossoneri don’t seem overly eager to purchase a center-back in the final two weeks of the window. They might be waiting for Evan N’Dicka, although he’s likely to spend another year at Eintracht Frankfurt.
As per Corriere della Sera, the Scudetto winners don’t agree with the terms requested by PSG. The sellers want the center-back to transfer permanently, or on loan with an obligation to buy. Moreover, his wages are conspicuous. Those same aspects were problematic for Napoli too. They considered him to replace Kalidou Koulibaly, but they ultimately picked Kim Min-Jae.
Rather than on Diallo or another defender, Milan are more preoccupied with their hunt for a midfielder. Raphael Onyedika has become the frontrunner. He would be able to feature in the back in a pinch as well.
Midtjylland rejected their opening bid, but the gap between the offer and the price tag isn’t too wide. The Danish outfit is currently looking for a new coach after firing Bo Herinksen. That is slowing them down on the transfer market. There have been new contacts between the two sides yesterday, Gianluca Di Marzio reports. Their sporting director told Eurosport that they would like to keep him for another year.
Our Take on Milan Moving On from Diallo
While he would have fit what the Rossoneri are looking for, since they could use a left-footed specialist that can play on the flank, his profile and especially salary always seemed superior to what his role would have been. The newcomer would come in as the fourth option. A versatile and cheaper youngster, like Jakub Kiwior or N’Dicka, makes more sense.
