Reports Liberali deal between Milan and Catanzaro on standby

Reports from various outlets over the weekend claimed that there is an agreement in place between Milan and Catanzaro over a permanent deal for Liberali.

The Rossoneri were expected to accept a nominal fee for the teenager, who is into the final year of his contract, in exchange for a 50% sell-on clause.

However, according to reports from Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri now would like to review the terms of the deal, and it has also been suggested that there has been a recent proposal from Serie A side Torino.

Tuesday’s report claims that negotiations between Milan and Catanzaro are currently on standby.

Torino director Davide Vagnati reportedly begun discussions with Milan on Monday and is hoping to reach a swift agreement for the Italy youth international. The two parties are currently in negotiations over a potential fee.

Aside from Torino and Catanzaro, there had also been interest from the likes of Atalanta, Parma, Lecce and Empoli earlier this summer.
