Football transfers summer 2021, CSKA midfielder Nikola Vlašić may become a Milan player, what is known about it

Will Vlašić leave CSKA and go to the top championship? What is known about it

Milan fans reacted differently to the possible transfer.

At the end of June, father Nikola Vlašić said that his son needs new challenges, hinting at an imminent departure from CSKA. It is foolish to argue and disagree that the Croatian midfielder has outgrown the Russian championship and needs a new, more eminent European club. On July 13, Vlasic was supposed to join CSKA in Austria and fly to Moscow with the team. Nicola, meanwhile, posted a mysterious photo on Instagram, accompanied by a waving hand emoji.

Vlašić on the verge of signing a contract with Milan

According to some sources and a journalist Ekrema Konura, CSKA agreed to lease Nikol Vlašić to Milan with an obligation to buy it back for € 25 million. In the near future, the 23-year-old midfielder is due to fly to Milan to complete the transition. According to unofficial data, the Rossoneri are ready to offer the Croat a five-year contract with a salary of € 2.5 million per year, including bonuses.

The footballer himself hinted at a possible transfer to Milan by subscribing to the club’s official Instagram account. However, there is still a chance that Vlasic will remain in CSKA. Earlier, the Moscow club reported that it did not plan to sell the player for less than 35 million euros. The high cost is due to the fact that Muscovites wanted to find a worthy replacement on the market within 20 million. For Milan, this price was too high, so at the moment the clubs stopped at € 25 million. Perhaps at some point CSKA may refuse rental option.

How Vlašić played at the European Championship

“To prove yourself at Euro 2020 and go to the top club in Europe” – such a thought sat in the minds of many football players. There was a lot of talk in Russia that if Larsson or Kral wanted to leave, then they needed to squeeze out as much as possible at the European Championship. However, the Swedish striker was not allowed to play a single minute in the tournament, and the Czech, having spent 127 minutes in four matches, did not show anything outstanding. But Vlašić made an excellent impression.

First, the midfielder scored a goal in the match with Scotland (3: 1) and was recognized as the player of the meeting, and then became the best in the percentage of successful strokes in the group stage. Nikola successfully completed all his attempts, the same result was achieved by the midfielder of the Italian national team Jorginho. The third place was taken by the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, who completed 88.9% of successful strokes.

Unsurprisingly, the Rossoneri leadership was impressed by Vlašić’s performance at Euro 2020. They probably noted not only his performance in the tournament, but also the statistics in recent seasons, which year after year confirm the high level of the football player.

As for the Milan fans, they will be delighted to see the Croatian midfielder on their team. On the club’s fan sites, fans share their impressions of the 23-player’s best qualities and believe that he is capable of replacing Hakan Chalhanonglu, who left for Inter. There are also many who believe that Vlašić’s transfer to Milan is mere rumors and that there is nothing behind it.
