Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek has a new offer from Hertha Berlin, claim Sky Sport Italia, pressuring Tottenham Hotspur to improve their bid.
The Poland international arrived from Genoa a year ago for €35m with sbobet among the punters predicting good showing for the attacker in Milan.
But he has not lived up to expectations and fell down the pecking order with the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and shift to a 4-4-2 formation.
Because the Rossoneri paid so much, they are only prepared to let him go on a permanent basis, or at the very least on loan with an obligation to buy, for €30m.
So far, Spurs have only attempted to get him on loan, but Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio claimed on Tuesday evening that Hertha Berlin are ready to propose a permanent move.
There’s still no deal, as the German offer is below the €30m asking price and Piatek has not given the all-clear to the destination.
He has his heart set on Tottenham, where he would get regular playing time during Harry Kane’s lengthy injury lay-off.
Piatek played for 65 minutes in the Coppa Italia quarter-final this evening, but was booed off the field by Milan fans.
