"AC Milan believed they had finalized the purchase of André for €17m, which included €15m fixed and €2m in bonuses, but negotiations took an unexpected turn."
"Corinthians' president, Osmar Stabile, did not give the final green light to the sale, despite the legal department producing documents certifying a preliminary agreement."
"Coach Dorival Júnior publicly opposed the sale, stating that a player of André's caliber deserves a higher fee, which contributed to the stalled negotiations."
AC Milan has ceased attempts to sign midfielder André from Brazilian club Corinthians after a series of failed negotiations. Initially, a transfer agreement for €17m was reached, but the president's refusal to sign and subsequent price increase led Milan to withdraw. Coach Dorival Júnior's public opposition to the sale further complicated matters. With Benfica and Atletico Madrid now interested, Milan opted not to raise their bid, concluding that Corinthians overvalued the player.
