It seems that Mbaye Niang will be staying at AC Milan despite the club’s initial intention to part ways with the Franco-Senegalese player. AC Milan had reportedly considered letting him go, especially after his suspension from the French Under-21 national team due to a disciplinary issue during a night out.
Everton had shown strong interest in acquiring Niang, but AC Milan’s management, led by president Adriano Galliani, has decided to reject offers from all interested clubs. Despite the earlier willingness to let him go, Galliani seems convinced of the young striker’s potential. As a result, Mbaye Niang will not be leaving AC Milan during the winter transfer window.
The initial plan from Everton was to sign Niang on loan with an option to buy, but the rejection from AC Milan means that the player will continue his development with the Italian club for the time being. It appears that AC Milan sees a bright future for the 17-year-old player and is not ready to part with him at this point.
