However, negotiations have hit a stumbling block due to the high transfer fee demanded by Queens Park Rangers. While AC Milan is interested in securing Taarabt’s services, they are reportedly hesitant to meet the €8 million asking price set by QPR. The Italian club is instead aiming to negotiate a lower fee, closer to €5 million, considering their uncertain European qualification for next season.
AC Milan’s reluctance to meet the initial asking price indicates a desire to secure a more favorable deal, especially given the financial implications and uncertainties surrounding European competition. It remains to be seen whether Queens Park Rangers will be willing to lower their demands, especially considering their aspirations to return to the Premier League.
The outcome of negotiations will determine Taarabt’s future at AC Milan and whether he will continue to be a part of the club’s plans beyond the current loan spell.
