AC Milan-Fabregas: What is complicating the deal with Chelsea
- Alessandro Cosattini. Translated by Nikita Fesyukov
One of the targets for the attack is Luis Muriel, while for the midfield all is not as clear. Cesc Fabregas is certainly a player appreciated by Milan and the player is more and more eager to leave Chelsea in January, despite having a contract until the end of the season. The Spaniard is dissatisfied with the space given to him by Maurizio Sarri and has several offers, including that from the Rossoneri.
The former Napoli coach, however, yesterday reiterated his position and spoke of the importance of Fabregas for the team, as 'we have only two players in the regista position - Jorginho and Fabregas'. He continued to say that it would be a real problem for him without the former Barcelona man and he would be happy for the player to stay at the Stamford Bridge.
As mentioned, Fabregas' contract with Chelsea expires in June and Chelsea value him at over 10 million euros for January. And it is precisely the costs of the operation that are making Milan reflect on the situation. To date, the demands of Chelsea and Fabregas himself complicate the operation.
"We have stakes. We cannot do what we want. The club has been clear. Fabregas? There are important figures involved," Gattuso reiterated yesterday. To join Milan, Fabregas is called to force his hand with the club and lower his claims in terms of salary. The problem is that Financial Fair Play does not allow Milan to make crazy expenses, let alone for another player over 30.
