AC Milan are not only in talks with Club Brugge over the signing of Ardon Jashari, as discussions have resumed over Maxim De Cuyper.
With Theo Hernandez heading to Al-Hilal in a deal worth €25-30m – depending on which sources you read – Milan need a new starting left-back. This is in addition to the other areas to strengthen, such as right-back, striker and above all midfield, with Brugge star Jashari a target there.
De Cuyper talks on
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have been making moves for De Cuyper for several months and the first contacts date back to March. With the sale of Theo now one step away, now we are entering the operational phase in the pursuit of the Belgian.
The contacts between the parties are intensifying and the Rossoneri management are ready to put an offer of around €16-17m on the table for the Brugge full-back. However, Roma are in talks too, given the probably sale of Angelino.
Maxim grew game by game in the last season. In addition to his outstanding skills in the attacking phase (11 goal contributions in total), the 24-year-old has shown improved work without the ball in the defensive phase, just as Massimiliano Allegri likes.
Therefore, Milan have identified in De Cuyper the ‘perfect heir to Theo Hernandez’, the report concludes. Now, we will see what the negotiations bring.
