La Provence: Doubts over Fonseca to Milan – Marseille haven’t given up | OneFootball

Doubts are emerging over Paulo Fonseca’s rumoured move to AC Milan as Ligue 1 side Marseille have not yet given up on the Portuguese coach.

As reported by French newspaper La Provence (via Radio Rossonera), the negotiation between Fonseca and Milan is not as close to completion as other reports have claimed.

Milan have been linked with a whole host of coaches in the past month after it became clear that Stefano Pioli would not be given the chance to see out the final year of his contract.

Fonseca seems to be the coach that the Rossoneri have settled on and one of the big factors in the real being close was that Marseille have stepped away from the negotiations.

La Provence, a publication that has close links with Marseille, believes that Marseill have not given up hope of convincing the Lille coach to join them this summer rather than Milan.

Fonseca is yet to make a final choice despite being made an offer by Milan that would see him earn €3m per season.

Pioli’s departure is likely to be announced before the match against Salernitana so he can have a proper send-off at San Siro with all of the fans.
