Maxi Lopez to AC Milan deal still on

Catania chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco admits that discussions have taken place with AC Milan regarding the transfer of Maxi Lopez, but as yet no deal has been agreed.

Maxi Lopez has been in stunning form for Catania this season, and will soon agree a move away from the club in search of a new challenge.


Lopez has finally fulfilled his potential that Barcelona - who signed him several years ago - spotted in him as a youngster.


Pietro Lo Monaco said: “We know nothing, there are always the same talks. Catania’s position is clear and everyone knows what it is.


“We speak about a lot of things, also about Maxi Lopez, yes. Meetings with Milan? I do not know, nothing is planned.


“Would I recommend Galliani to buy Maxi? Giving advice to Galliani is the last thing I can do, as he is the most successful CEO in Italy. I can only say that Maxi is an important player, young and is a good prospect."
