Earlier on Friday, we covered the latest regarding Milan’s interest in Achraf Lazaar, who remains contracted to Newcastle United.
The Morocco international hasn’t played at St James’ Park for a long time, yet remains tied until the summer, leaving the Serie A side, in need of a left-back, waiting for him to sort his situation out.
Lazaar was said to have asked Newcastle to allow him to cancel his contract, and he was yet to hear a reply, leaving Milan with little choice but to consider alternatives.
That’s according to Il Milanista, who add that due to this, Milan ‘could decide to move and propose an offer’, seeing him as a ‘low cost profile’ to complete the squad at Stefano Pioli’s disposal.
We can only imagine Newcastle being thrilled at the thought of getting money for a player they considered dead weight over a year ago, so you can bet they’d snatch Paolo Maldini’s hand off should a bid be placed on the table.
