Exclusive: Deulofeu pushes for AC Milan return; the situation for January
As our reporter Fabrizio Romano states, he would come back in a heartbeat, as the return has practically become an obsession. Leaving Milan is his biggest regret, even though he wanted to stay at the time, and he would even hand in a transfer request to Watford if necessary.
The Rossoneri directors know this very well: Deulofeu's message has been clear for months and Milan have taken note of the situation. However, to date, nothing has ever materialized from it. Per Romano, Watford consider €40m as their starting point for the negotiations.
Furthermore, given their position in the standings, a move in January is tough to imagine as Deulofeu is an important player for the English side, who will want to avoid relegation. Milan appreciate the player, but a purchase can't be made under the current conditions.
There is distance, therefore, beyond the boy's desire. Which is likely to remain so once again.
