Bennaser + 10 million euros! Milan officially offers Vlahovic, players need to have a significant salary cut

After a long period of evaluation, AC Milan finally submitted an official offer to Juventus center Vlahovic, with the conditions they offered were 10 million euros in cash plus Bennaser. Although the Zebras are not very cold about this, it marks that Milan's pursuit of the Serbians has entered a substantial stage, and the two teams are expected to find a balance point in the trade in the future.

This summer window, Milan needs to sign a powerful center similar to Giroud. Since Allegri took over as head coach, his target was Serbian international Vlahovic. The two got along well at Juventus, and Uncle Jiong also held the instructions of the other party in his hand. Vlahovic played for two and a half years under his command and scored a total of 41 goals.

What is good for Milan is that Vlahovic is no longer in Juventus' plan next season. The Zebras successfully signed efficient scorer Jonathan David from Lille this summer, while actively operating to bring French international Muani back to the Allianz Stadium. These two heavy signings will directly lead to the complete loss of Vlahovic, who entered the contract year.

According to the Italian Republic, after in-depth evaluation, the Milan management decided to formally launch an attack on Vlahovic. They gave a cash offer of 10 million euros and included Bennaser as a bargaining chip in the transaction, because Allegri has made it clear that Bennaser is not planned for next season.

Bennaser has missed the team's pre-season preparations at the Milanello base and was also excluded from the pre-season warm-up roster. Saudi team Jeddah United once offered a transfer fee of 12 million euros and provided a sky-high annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, but the player himself was still hesitant.

Milan recommends this 4 to Juventus this time, hoping to satisfy its desire to continue to compete in the five major leagues. However, Juventus does not seem to be interested in Milan's initial offer and has not responded for the time being, but at least it shows that Milan has begun to take substantial actions.

The Republic further analyzed that compared with Bennaser, Juventus may be more interested in several other Milan redundant players, including Adrie who delegated the future team, Chukueze, Okafor and Mousa who frantically brushed data in the preseason. It is expected that the two sides will reach an agreement in the next few weeks.

Vlahovic is open to joining Milan, but the two sides still need to negotiate on the treatment issue. The Serbian currently enjoys a maximum salary of 12 million euros after tax in Juventus. Leo, the highest-paid player in Milan, has only 7 million euros after tax salary plus bonus. Therefore, DV9 needs a significant salary cut, which is not only a simple digital negotiation, but also a core principle of locker room atmosphere and the sustainable development of the club.

There is still one month left before the summer transfer window is closed. The good news is that Juventus is very eager to get rid of the hot potato of Vlahovic. Because the Serbians' amortized costs and wage expenditures for the contract year are as high as 40 million euros, the Zebra Legion can only relax its hands and feet to introduce new players while ensuring his departure.

Therefore, time is Milan's most advantageous weapon, and they can wait for Juventus to take the initiative to lower the requirements. In addition, Tare has also formulated a spare tire plan, with Rennes forward Karim Endo and Lecce forward Kelstovic on the roster.
