They have come to terms with the former on a three-year contract with \u20ac4M wages, <em>Calciomercato<\/em> relays.<\/p>\n<p>They now need to convince Bayer Leverkusen, which have already lost a lot of mainstays. Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have joined Liverpool, while Jonathan Tah signed with Bayern Munich as a free agent. The initial \u20ac10M offer isn\u2019t enough. He has notched 2 goals and 7 assists in 33 Bundesliga tilts in 2024\/2025.<\/p>\n<p>Milan will need to up their bids to snap up Xhaka and Guerra. Per Alfredo Pedull\u00e0, a \u20ac15M proposal could convince <em>Die Aspirin<\/em>. The <em>Rossoneri<\/em> no longer have reservations about adding veterans with Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri at the helm now.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Valencia man, the Serie A side tendered \u20ac16M plus \u20ac4M add-ons, but it was insufficient, <em>Sky<\/em> informs. They will try again in the coming days. He has scored 3 goals and provided 3 helpers in 36 La Liga fixtures last season. He has been a regular for the first team for the past 2 campaigns and has 20 caps with Spain U-21.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Take on Milan Eyeing Xhaka and Guerra<\/h3>\n<p>They weren\u2019t going to find an outright Tijjani Reijnders replacement without spending an overly large amount of money on one man, which they have always been reluctant to do, so onboarding a few solid options to mitigate the blow is the right strategy. They\u2019ll have a nice mix if they land both planes. Unless Allegri somehow revitalized Ruben Loftus-Cheek, they could also use a potent offensive weapon from the box-to-box role, preferably on the younger side.<\/p>\n<table class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color: #ebf5ff;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 60px; border: 0px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 0px; text-align: center;\"><strong>Follow us on <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Google News<\/span> for more updates on Serie A and Italian football<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cultofcalcio.com\/milan-zeroing-in-on-two-options-to-shore-up-midfield\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milan have identified Granit Xhaka and Javi Guerra as the next two pieces to bolster their midfield after securing Luka Modric.
