Milan: The Truth About André – Transfer Stalemate and Future Prospects
Background of the Proposed Transfer
The Rossoneri reached a preliminary agreement with Corinthians for teenage midfielder André. The deal was valued at €15 million plus €2 million in bonuses and a 20 % future resale clause, with the player ready to surrender 30 % of his registration rights.
Obstacles and Current Stalemate
Manager Dorival Junior voiced objections, fans protested, and president Stabile refused to sign the necessary documents, leaving AC Milan at a crossroads. The club must decide whether to increase its bid or take the matter to FIFA based on the signed preliminary agreement.
Future Scenarios and Interested Clubs
Negotiations have effectively stalled, and the likelihood of André wearing Rossonero colours is now described as “very slim”. Interest from Benfica and Atlético Madrid is growing as they assess the feasibility of securing the midfielder.
- Transfer fee: €15 million
- Bonuses: €2 million
- Resale clause: 20 %
- Registration rights to relinquish: 30 %
- Clubs showing interest: Benfica, Atlético Madrid
“The chances of seeing André in Rossonero colours are now very slim,” reported Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel.
