Alessandro Florenzi is working hard to be fit in time to help with Milan’s Scudetto push but his future still remains shrouded in doubt.
The 31-year-old is currently undergoing a treatment regiment in Milanello following the meniscus injury suffered earlier this month in the 0-0 draw with Bologna. Yesterday he ran on the pitches of the training ground for the first time since the injury and he hopes to return in time for the match against Hellas Verona on May 8.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Milan were prepared to enter talks with Roma regarding a permanent move for Florenzi before his latest injury, but now they’re a little more hesitant and uncertain.
The Rossoneri want to see how the end of the season plays out before they make a final decision, especially because there’s no signs that Roma are willing to give a discount on the previously agreed €4.5 million buy option attached to his loan move.

If Milan don’t sign Florenzi, it will be ridiculous – just give Roma the £4.5m, he’s worth it for when he does play
Are you kidding me? For that amount of money it is for free. Just buy him. He will come handy.
Agreed, good squad player to have around. I imagine he’s a good influence behind the scenes too. As long as his knee is okay he should be signed up.
Problem with Florenzi is not the 4.5m fee (which IMO is a lot for a guy who injures all the time) but his wages. I think he is earning more than 3m so I don’t see Milan buying him as a bench warmer
Might be a good option starting on the RW if no one else is bought for that position? If he can stay fit as putuco mentioned.
I’d sign him.
Don’t need him. Kalulu needs to play and if we’re signing Botman he can at least be cover at RB and CB. It’s good to have one player covering a few positions, it keeps things tight.
