Milan need to up Fabiano offer, says agent

AC Milan will have to make an improved offer for Brazil forward Luis Fabiano if they are to prise him away from Sevilla, the player’s agent said on Thursday.

Speaking to Radio Onda Zero, Jose Fuentes, said the only thing blocking a move for the Confederations Cup top goalscorer was Milan’s reluctance to up their offer.

“Right now it’s Milan who need to take a step forward for Luis Fabiano, we’re waiting, we’ll see if it’s possible to close out this deal,” Fuentes said.

“It’s Milan who have to move, fly to Seville and increase their offer.”

Fuentes said he understood Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido’s demand that the Italians stump up 20 million euros for the 28-year-old, although Milan don’t want to pay more than 14 million euros.

“I understand him (Del Nido) and I understand that 14 million euros is not the transfer value of a Brazilian international striker because Luis Fabiano is worth 20 million euros,” added Fuentes.
