"Milan had essentially agreed a deal, and all the documents required to be sent, appear to have been sent. However, the president of Corinthians stepped in. Along with the coach, he felt that the agreed deal was too low for the talent, and cancelled the deal."
"The Brazilian club are asking for an improved offer of €22 million - a €5m increase on the previously accepted bid - and the Rossoneri are considering three different actions now. The first has already been widely discussed, taking the situation to FIFA and appealing, considering they have signed draft documents already."
"Alternatively, they could walk away from the situation completely, which would be understandable considering how the operation has gone so far. Finally, they could also present a new offer to Corinthians. In the grand scheme of things, €5m is not a massive raise, but the principle set would not be a good one."
AC Milan and Corinthians' transfer negotiations for midfielder André have become complicated. Milan had reached an agreement with Corinthians, but the club's president and coach intervened, deeming the deal undervalued for the player's talent. Corinthians cancelled the agreement and increased their asking price from €17 million to €22 million. Milan now considers three paths forward: appealing to FIFA using signed draft documents as leverage, withdrawing from negotiations entirely, or submitting a new offer. The €5 million increase is relatively modest, but accepting it could establish an unfavorable precedent for future negotiations.
