Milan still 10m short of Doue asking price set by Strasbourg
Milan would seem to be a very long way off Strasbourg right-back Guéla Doué, as it’s reported their latest €18m offer is nowhere near the €28m asking price.
It had already been confirmed on Football Italia earlier this week that the Rossoneri were planning on a new bid after seeing the opener rejected.
Now more details are emerging on that proposal, which came in and was promptly turned down again today.
Milan a very long way from Doue tag
L’Equipe note that the first offer was €15m, with the second rising to €18m this weekend.
The problem, as pointed out by Calciomercato.com, is that the Strasbourg asking price is closer to €28m.
This is significantly more than the original Italian suggestions of €20m as a starting point.
It represents a mountain to climb and the slow progress of these negotiations is just going to further irritate the Ligue 1 club.
The 22-year-old is an Ivory Coast international and the older brother of Paris Saint-Germain talent Desiré Doué.
