"After everything seemed done for around €15m fixed plus €2m in bonuses, the Brazilian club backed out due to 'vehement protests on social media' from fans. The President reiterated to the player's entourage that he is not for sale unless the Rossoneri significantly improve their asking price (some sources speak of just over €20m, others of €24m)."
"Meanwhile, the player also seems to have taken a step back. After initially saying yes, he is now re-evaluating his options both for the love of Corinthians and because he thinks he needs a few more months in Brazil before making the big leap to Europe."
"Milan management are apparently evaluating legal action through FIFA as a result, because they claim that the relevant documents were already signed and that backing out of the deal breaks regulations."
AC Milan and Corinthians have reached an impasse in negotiations for teenage midfielder André. Initially agreed at €15m fixed plus €2m in bonuses, Corinthians withdrew following fan backlash on social media. The club president now demands significantly more money, with reports suggesting €20m to €24m. Additionally, André himself has reconsidered the transfer, citing his attachment to Corinthians and belief that he needs more development time in Brazil before moving to Europe. Milan management is reportedly considering legal action through FIFA, claiming documents were already signed and the withdrawal violates regulations. With Milan unwilling to increase their offer, the deal appears unlikely to conclude.
