Vlahovic to AC Milan, Matteo Moretto talks

Transfer market experts Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto have poured cold water on the rumours that surfaced on Tuesday evening regarding a supposed pre-agreement between Dusan Vlahovic and AC Milan.

The reports, initially launched by Cristiano Ruiu on Telelombardia, claimed that the Serbian striker had already signed a four-year preliminary deal with the Rossoneri worth €8 million per season plus bonuses, with a free transfer scheduled for June.

However, speaking on their YouTube channel, Romano and Moretto made it clear that such claims do not reflect the information currently in their possession.

According to them, there is no confirmation of an agreement being in place, nor of figures that would significantly exceed Milan’s established financial framework.

Milan’s Wage Structure Remains a Key Factor

Matteo Moretto provided further insight into the situation, acknowledging that Milan’s interest in Vlahovic is neither new nor surprising.

The striker is highly appreciated by Massimiliano Allegri, and the mutual respect between the parties has been known for some time. Milan, for their part, have been monitoring the player for a while and clearly admire his profile.

That said, Moretto emphasized that the club remains extremely disciplined when it comes to salaries. With all due respect to other sources, he explained that Milan are very reluctant to go beyond certain wage parameters.

Offering a fixed salary exceeding €5 million net per season would already be a complicated scenario, let alone reaching figures close to €8 million.

Recent examples underline this approach. Theo Hernández earned around €5.1 million net per year, while Rafael Leão reaches approximately €7 million only by including bonuses.

For Milan, surpassing a total of €7 million per season, even with incentives included, is not currently part of their strategy.
In this context, while Vlahovic remains a player of strong interest and admiration, the financial aspect represents a significant obstacle.

As things stand, any talk of a definitive agreement appears premature, and Milan’s cautious economic policy suggests that such a deal would require major compromises to become reality.
