Reports Ibrahimovic told Morata, Tomori and Calabria to leave Milan | OneFootball

Reports in Italy claim that Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic ‘invited’ Alvaro Morata, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria to leave the club during meetings at Milanello over the weekend, as Milan look to pull off a morale-lifting end to the January transfer window.

The Rossoneri are preparing for the Derby della Madonnina against city rivals Inter on Sunday, and are also plotting their final moves of the January transfer window: Santiago Gimenez is in town to complete his medical, and several other first-team players are still due to leave.

In order to facilitate the Gimenez move, Milan have sent Alvaro Morata to Istanbul to join Galatasaray. Long-term servant Calabria has also said his goodbyes and is now an official announcement away from being unveiled as a Bologna player.

And, according to reports over the weekend, Milan had agreed a fee with Tottenham for a deal involving Tomori, but the player has decided against leaving San Siro, which has led Spurs to the signing of Kevin Danso instead.

Ibrahimovic reportedly had discussions with all three players over the weekend in an attempt to convince them to leave the club before the end of the January transfer window according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, reported via Milannews.it.

Though Morata and Calabria are on their way out, Tomori looks set to stay on under Sergio Conceicao for now, and could also line up as a starter for the derby against Inter on Sunday evening.
