Milan are expected to make a new offer to Strasbourg for right-back Guéla Doué, even if it is still well short of the €30m asking price.

The 22-year-old emerged as the first choice for coach Max Allegri, who preferred to back off from Marc Pubill in favour of a raised bid for the Ivory Coast international.

They have seen two previous proposals rejected, reported to be worth €15m and €20m plus bonuses.

Guéla Doué is first choice for Milan

Now Calciomercato.com suggest a new formal figure is being handed over worth just under €25m including add-ons.

It is still quite a way off the asking price set by Strasbourg, which is at roughly €30m, but it does fit with the way that Milan have been working on the transfer market this summer.

Doué was purchased by Strasbourg from Stade Rennes only last summer for €6m, so his value has already sky-rocketed in the space of 12 months.

That is thanks to his performances last season, with one goal and two assists in 34 competitive games for Strasbourg.
