Milan is not giving up on Partizan player Andrej Kostić, the "rossoneri" are persistent in their intention to hire the young Montenegrin player, so after a meeting between Zlatan Ibrahimović and the director of the "black and whites", Predrag Mijatović, they offered 4,5 million euros to make this transfer happen.
But the management of the Belgrade club is asking for 12 million euros (the clause in the contract is 20 million), plus bonuses and a percentage of the next sale, writes Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio, who reminds that Partizan must pay 15 percent of Kostić's potential transfer to Buducnost.
Kostić left Buducnost for Partizan last summer for 900 thousand euros in several installments.
Di Marzio writes that Partizan has no intention of giving up Kostić for 4,5 million euros, but will try to make similar moves as Budućnost and Dunajska Streda made when selling Vasilije Adžić to Juventus and Nikola Krstović to Leče, respectively. Adžić arrived at Juve for around seven million euros, and Krstović at Leče for eight million.
The Rossoneri are planning new moves to try to reach an agreement with the Belgrade club.
At the end of December last year, the Italian "Gazzetta", as well as Fabricio Romano, wrote that Kostić was one step away from Milan, that personal terms had been agreed, and that the "Rossoneri" would pay Partizan five million euros in compensation.
"Gazzetta" pointed out in an article dedicated to Kostić that, if the transfer were to go through, the striker would initially play for Milan's youth team, where he would try to impose himself on the first team coach, Massimiliano Allegri.
The Italian newspaper reminds that Kostić scored a goal in the match between the youth national teams of Montenegro and Italy in the European Championship qualifiers in September last year, and that this season he is Partizan's second top scorer with nine goals in all competitions, although he mostly gets his chances from the bench.
It is also pointed out that Kostić resembles Juventus footballer Dušan Vlahović.
