CM: Milan want additional discount on Messias – confidence filters regarding Ziyech | OneFootball

Junior Messias joined AC Milan on an initial loan deal ahead of the season and while his stay seemed certain a few weeks back, that isn’t the case now. In fact, the Rossoneri want an additional discount, a report claims.

The Brazilian winger, who arrived from Crotone ahead of this past season, had a decent first year with Milan as he found the back of the net six times. His most memorable goal came in the Champions League away at Atletico Madrid (1-0 win).

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are currently reflecting on Messias’ future and it appears they want an additional discount on the buy-out. Initially, the clubs agreed on €5.5m but two weeks back, they settled at €4.5m.

The official announcement never arrived, though, and that is because the Rossoneri are working to get an additional discount. Meanwhile, they are very confident about signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea on a loan with an obligation to buy, for around €25-30m.

That signing would make Messias slightly redundant, hence the efforts to lower the price. Milan still want to keep the Brazilian, but just not for that money.
