We exclusively understand that the rossoneri have had an offer for Amadou Diawara rejected by Napoli

In the late hours of yesterday when Milan offered both Alen Halilovic and Andrea Bertolacci to Genoa for Piatek, they also made a loan offer to sign Diawara from Napoli. The deal was aimed at signing the player permanently next summer.

Contact was made with Diawara's entourage and the player is said to like Rino Gattuso a lot. But Aurelio de Laurentiis was firm in rejecting the offer in one go, but Milan haven't given up yet.

Leonardo will go hard for one of Diawara or Stefano Sensi, as they look to sign a midfielder this month.
