After making use of their buy-back clause, Bayer Leverkusen set an asking price and expected it to be met this summer and Milan were one of the several clubs considering it. With several targets on their radar, though, he was not the priority.
As a result, others have had the opportunity to swoop in and ‘steal’ a move, so to speak, and this is what has happened.
London calling
Indeed, the latest reports from the Telegraph state that the Bosnian star is heading to the Premier League, where Chelsea are waiting for him, as Daniele Longo relays.
Considering the relationship between the clubs, who is to say that a move won’t happen in the future? Unfortunately for Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who pushed for the move heavily – it won’t be this summer.
In the meantime, the Rossoneri will continue to focus on a potential move for Konstantinos Karetsas, with the hope of some outgoing moves in the meantime.
