West Ham and Liverpool for Niang

By Football Italia staff

Milan want to send M’Baye Niang to Genoa, but he’s pushing for a permanent transfer to Liverpool, West Ham or Crystal Palace.

The striker has been dropped for tomorrow’s Coppa Italia quarter-final against Juventus, as he is considering transfer options.

The Rossoneri struck a deal with Genoa to hand him over on a six-month loan in exchange for Lucas Ocampos, also on a temporary basis.

However, multiple reports insist the French forward is refusing the Genoa move and wants to go to the Premier League.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Mediaset Premium and Sky Sport Italia, Niang is personally taking part in negotiations in Milan hotels with representatives from West Ham United and Liverpool.

Crystal Palace are also interested, but the other two clubs seem to have the upper hand.

Milan are demanding approximately €18m for the pacey 22-year-old.

This season he has three goals and three assists in 18 Serie A appearances, but Coach Vincenzo Montella and fans are frustrated at his poor finishing and refusal to track back.
