AC Milan desperate to ship summer flop overseas
The summer acquisition of Kalinic was a soap opera, filled with multiple reports of its death. Eventually a €25 million agreement was reached and he was handed the famed number 7 shirt for the Rossoneri. However, after 20 appearances this season, he’s only mustered four goals and three assists.
The lack of production has fueled numerous reports that Massimiliano Mirabelli has been looking to rid the club of the expensive flop. Surprisingly, there has been a strong market for struggling striker. Unsurprisingly, the market is China.
Reports of concrete and lucrative offers from several Chinese Super League clubs have been confirmed by Corriere della Sera. The main stumbling block, however, has been Kalinic’s unwillingness to accept any offers. Just last year he snubbed Tianjin Quanjian, helmed by Fabio Cannavaro.
