AC Milan want to complete the signing of Valencia and USMNT midfielder Yunus Musah this week.
Talks with Los Che are underway and Milan are leading the race for the versatile midfielder.
Valencia owner Peter Lim wants a higher fee than the Rossoneri’s opening offer of €13 million plus €4 million in add-ons.
The final deal could now be closer to €20 million for Musah, who came close to leaving the Mestalla outfit in January.
Milan, who finished fourth in Serie A last season, have already completed the signing of fellow midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea.
Musah, 20, has played 24 games with the USMNT and featured at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The former Arsenal man played 37 games in all competitions for Valencia in 2022-23, scoring two goals from midfield.
AC Milan are owned by American private investment firm RedBird Capital, with Gerry Cardinale, the founder of the firm, taking over last summer.
The club recently parted ways with Italian football legend Paolo Maldini, who was in charge of transfers at San Siro up until last month.
In an ideal scenario, Valencia would like to sell Musah as quickly as possible in order to start rebuilding their squad for the upcoming LaLiga season.
Musah, on the other hand, is grateful for the role the club has played in his career to date and will not force a transfer, but a move from Mestalla is expected.
West Ham have also shown interest and asked the player’s agent about the conditions under which he would leave the Spanish club.
