Milan Transfer News: Who could leave in January window? | by Federico Albrizio
Let’s find out together who’s not on the Serbian’s good book anymore and is ready to leave the club in the next month.
Diego Lopez has asked to leave Milan as the former Real Madrid shot-stopper doesn’t want to be Gianluigi Donnarumma’s second choice. Liverpool are interested in signing him, though Reds have failed make any official offer for the 34-year-old goalkeeper who is actually out of action due to knee injury.
Michael Agazzi will cut short his loan spell at Middlesbrough to join Verona (on loan) until the end of the season with the Gialloblu goalie Rafael who will go the opposite way.
Philippe Mexes has been linked with Marseille and Fiorentina, but the Frenchman is likely to remain at the club until his contract expires in June, while Milan have proposed Cristian Zapata to Genoa and Lazio, but the Colombia International has also been targeted by English, Spanish and Chinese clubs.
Rodrigo Ely could join Palermo, Verona or Genoa on loan for six-months.
Andrea Bertolacci, Juraj Kucka and Riccardo Montolivo are the only three midfielders who are sure to remain at the club until the end of the season.
Leicester City have offered € 3 million to secure Nigel De Jong’s services, but the former Man City man has a € 5 million price tag. Antonio Nocerino will probably cancel his € 1.6 million a year contract with Milan to join Cagliari or Sampdoria.
Blucerchiati have also set sights on Andrea Poli, whose current salary at the San Siro, by the way, seems too high for Massimo Ferrero’s finances.
Mihajlovic will have to decide if he wants to keep José Mauri in the squad or not. In case he’d decide to let the youngster leave on loan, Mauri could join Chievo until the end of the season, though his former boss Donadoni would love to coach him at Bologna too.
Mario Balotelli will be sent back to Liverpool in June, while Luiz Adriano’s exit could come sooner as the Brazilian striker is chased by CSKA Moscow and has already turned down an offer from Krasnodar. Roma are closing in on the signing of Stefan El Shaarawy and Alessio Cerci is chased by Genoa, though Atletico Madrid want to sell him on permanent deal and not on loan.
