Atleti to step up Kalinic bid?

By Football Italia staff

Tuttosport reports that Atletico Madrid are ready to step up efforts to sign Nikola Kalinic from Milan.

The Croatian forward has endured a difficult year, falling out with Rossoneri Coach Rino Gattuso before being sent home from Croatia’s World Cup squad for refusing to come on as a substitute.

He appears set to leave the San Siro, with Atletico poised to offer him the chance of a fresh start in La Liga.

And in the coming days, it is expected that the Rojiblancos will push to reach an agreement for the signing of the 30-year-old forward.

Milan, who only signed Kalinic from Fiorentina last summer, are reluctant to allow him to leave for anything less than €20m.
