AC Milan's Winter Mercato Is Blocked As Club Struggles To Sell Benched Trio

Sempre Milan are reporting that AC Milan's incoming mercato is essentially blocked due to the lack of any outgoing players. The three main players who were expected to leave in the January transfer window were the Poland striker Piatek, the Brazil midfielder Paqueta and the Spain winger Suso. Milan have almost certainly missed out of Dani Olmo as they did not make an offer in time as the finances from outgoing sales was not present to be able to balance the books.

Piatek has been linked to Tottenham Hotspur as we reported here and was followed by some other Premier League clubs such as Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa but the player wants to stay and fight for his place. Suso is not receiving any offers but is being watched by Valencia and Sevilla as we reported here and Milan are willing to take about half of his valuation off selling for about 20 million euros. Paqueta is being linked to Bayern Munich and PSG as we reported here but the clubs are pushing for Milan to ease up on their 35-40 million euros demand.
