Calcio Mercato are also reporting that contacts are present between the entourage of the player and Milan's management. The report states that there a working to find an agreement as Milan have offered a 4 year contract worth 3 million euros per year whilst Thauvin is asking for 5 million euros a year.

Milan Technical Director Paolo Maldini spoke to Telefoot and said,

“His contract is ending so from the economic point of view he’s very interesting. He’s not the type of player we bought in the recent years because he is a bit old but we think that the solution is mixing players with experience with younger players. For sure he’s a player we must follow.”
