"Despite everything being agreed and emails confirming the situation being exchanged, the Brazilian club are now trying to pull out of the deal, believing that the midfielder is actually worth much more. With a transfer not able to occur until after the World Cup, it seems that this situation could go on for quite a while, with Gazzetta dello Sport even writing that the clubs are in a 'tug of war' over the talent."
"This is certainly more of a RedBird signing than one looked for by Massimiliano Allegri: a young player with bags of potential and a high resale value, as the report states. Furthermore, it would be the first time that the club have spent €17 million largely untested, let alone in Italy, whilst it would also not represent an Allegri signing in quality."
AC Milan and Corinthians are engaged in a transfer dispute over young Brazilian midfielder André. Despite previous agreements and email confirmations, Corinthians is attempting to back out of the deal, claiming André is worth significantly more than the agreed €17 million fee. The transfer cannot be completed until after the World Cup, prolonging the situation. The signing represents a RedBird initiative focused on acquiring young talent with high resale potential rather than a direct Allegri request. Milan spending €17 million on an untested player marks an unusual investment strategy, and integrating André into the first team immediately will prove challenging.
