Di Marzio: Ibrahimovic leading talks over Kostic - Milan's 4.5m offer deemed too low
"AC Milan are pushing to sign Andrej Kostic, and further contacts with Partizan Belgrade are expected in the next few hours. Milan have already completed the signing if Niclas Füllkrug from West Ham to bolster the attacking department, but the feeling is that more moves could follow. Some of these could be geared with an eye on the future, as the management always have an eye for talent."
"The Rossoneri - following talks between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Serbian club's sporting director Mijatovic - had offered €4.5m for the player, but Partizan deemed the offer too low, given the 18-year-old's release clause is €20m. The Serbians are asking for around €12m plus bonuses and a resale clause, a figure also dictated by the fact that they will have to pay 20% of the proceeds to Buducnost Podgorica, the Montenegrin's old club."
"Furthermore, Partizan want to engineer a deal similar to those that saw Adzic and Krstovic leave Serbia, two Montenegrin players who were sold to Italy. The latter played for their rivals Red Star. Krstovic in particular shone with Lecce and went to Atalanta in the summer for €25m, showing how important a possible resale clause could be for Partizan."
AC Milan are pursuing Andrej Kostic, the 2007-born striker at Partizan Belgrade, with further contacts expected shortly. Milan completed the signing of Niclas Füllkrug from West Ham to bolster the attack while keeping an eye on additional moves and future talent. Zlatan Ibrahimovic held talks with Partizan sporting director Mijatovic. Milan offered €4.5m, but Partizan considered that too low given an €20m release clause. Partizan seek about €12m plus bonuses and a resale clause, and must pay 20% of proceeds to Buducnost Podgorica. Partizan aim to replicate past transfer structures used for Adzic and Krstovic, where resale clauses proved valuable.
