On his website, sports journalist Alfredo Pedulla analyzes Milan’s negotiation with Atletico Madrid to acquire Alessio Cerci.
”The Rossoneri acted in the shadows by focusing on one thing: the will of Atletico to welcome back Fernando Torres on a long loan deal that would eliminate any misunderstanding. Milan acted quickly as they did last summer when they signed Giacomo Bonaventura. It happened more or less in one night. As for Inter, they do not have a player in hand to offer in exchange for Cerci. Therefore, they relied on the desire of the ex-Torino man.”
