Taiwo insists on Milan stay

AC Milan defender Taye Taiwo has kicked against going out on loan from the Italian giants till season’s end after he failed to impress at the Italian champions.

The 26-year-old left back joined Milan as a free agent last summer, but he has yet to shine at the San Siro in the two games he has played thus far and has now been placed on transfer by the Italian giants.

MTNFootball.com has since gathered that in the most likely event that Milan do not get a buyer for him in the winter transfer window, they would be forced to cut their losses and send him out on loan.

“The arrangement is for Milan to pay half of his hefty salary while the other club he will go on loan to pay the other half,” a top source informed MTNFootball.com

But Taiwo, who has been locked in close consultation with his family, has stuck to his guns that he wishes to stay and fight for his place at Milan.

Taiwo earns of 335,000 euros (about N67m) a month and he is not prepared to take a massive pay cut.

Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri, it has been reported, has been disappointed that the former Olympique Marseille star does not take risks on the pitch, and off the pitch he has also struggled to fully integrate into the squad.

Several clubs including German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen are reportedly keen to have the Nigeria defender.
