Gerard Deulofeu is reportedly eager for a Milan return, but Watford are demanding €25m without a loan portion of the deal ahead of today's crunch talks.

Multiple sources in Italy point the winger towards a comeback to San Siro, where he already played on loan for six months from Everton in 2017.

Watford paid €13m plus bonuses to buy the Spain international from Barcelona this season, so are determined to make a profit on the 24-year-old.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia, La Gazzetta dello Sport and more, there will be a decisive meeting today to see how much room for manoeuvre the two clubs have in these negotiations.

Deulofeu is more than happy to push for a Serie A return, but does not wish to upset his current club.

Milan would like a loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season, but the Hornets are holding out for €25m guaranteed.

Today they will discuss the possibility of a loan with option to buy that becomes an obligation under certain circumstances, for example number of appearances or Milan finishing in the top four.
