Reports out of Barcelona suggest that AC Milan have tabled an offer for Thiago Motta. Barcelona sporting director Txiki Begiristain had declared, during the presentation of Yaya Toure on Tuesday, that the Catalans would listen to offers for Thiago Motta.
There have been reports linking the Brazilain of Italian origin with a move to Calcio, with Barca supposedly having tried to include him in their offer for Christian Chivu.
Other Italian clubs have also been linked, and Sport are reporting that AC Milan have made a formal offer for the defensive midfielder.
However, it had fallen short of the 6 million euro price tag that Barcelona have slapped on him.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, will be in Barcelona next week to continue the negotiations, and try to broker an agreement.
Meanwhile, contrary to reports out of Barcelona yesterday, there was no final agreement over the transfer of Edmilson to Newcastle, with Sam Allardyce being forced to return empty handed.
The two parties were even further apart on Eidur Gudjohnsen. However, discussions will continue next week.
