Barcelona: Premier League star emerges as option to replace Busquets
Per the report, upon inquiry, Milan were informed that they had to pay €30 million for the services of the defensive midfielder, despite his reported €120 million release clause.
The Serie A giants could face competition from Barcelona, whose incoming sporting director, Deco, reportedly names Luis and Fulham's Joao Palinha as low-cost options to replace their former captain, Busquets, who has recently been announced as a new Inter Miami player.
With the windfall coming Milan's way from the Tonali sale, and Barcelona's complicated finances, the seven-time Champions League winners could be viewed as favourites to land their man.
