In the last few days of the transfer market, Milan's attention regarding revenue has focused on two positions: that of the defender and that of the midfielder.
Firstly, the arrival of Malick Thiaw from Shalke (deal for €7m in total including bonuses) has now been agreed, with the player who has already arrived in Italy. Now, Aster Vranckx of Wolfsburg, one of the names evaluated and looked at in recent weeks by the Rossoneri management.
In the last hours there have been contacts between the parties and they are close. The deal should be that of an loan with a fixed base of not that much and with a buy option. Wolfsburg's request for the 2002 born player who has a Belgian nationality is 13 million for the buy option, while Milan is currently willing to pay €11.5m.
Vranckx could be stopped from leaving. Tiemoué Bakayoko needs to leave first, both Monza(had no contact today regarding Bakayoko) and Lyon (contacts in progress but still nothing advanced for the Frenchman). While for the 2002 born player of Wolfsburg Milan plans to formalize the right offer shortly to close the deal.
