Milan, Niang clarifies his position: "I want to chose where I go play"

The situation around M'baye Niang remains unresolved, as both the player and his club look to find resolution before the end of the transfer window. The winger, who is training apart from the team after presenting a medical note to the club yesterday, has rejected a move to Spartak Moscow, and is being pursued by Torino now. Niang spoke to MilanNews.it with his side of things: "I listened to Montella speak in his press conference, I'd like to say only that football has always been the love of my life and my career. I have always practiced with a smile for the five years I've played at Milan and my teammates can attest to that. The stress is not tied to a sporting situation but to everything that's happing outside the pitch. I just want to select where I will go play, I want to choose it and not have others do it. I have nothing against Milan and the club, I just want to explain the situation."
