Milan's move for Aly Cissokho is on the verge of collapsing again after Porto president Pinto da Costa warned the Italians that they will have to cough up the cash initially agreed or they should forget a deal.
The Portuguese chief is reluctant to offer the Rossoneri a discount, and he wants the Italian club to go back and respect the original terms of the transfer if they want to sign the French full-back.
Those terms included a €15 million payment, however, Milan have tried to use a medical problem with the player to obtain a discount.
Although they still want to proceed with the transfer, Milan have insisted that Porto do so in the Italian way. The Rossoneri want an initial loan deal worth €3m, with the option to buy the player permanently next year if Cissokho plays at least 50 per cent of Milan's matches.
The deal is now once again in serious doubt, and Da Costa's words could scupper any progress just days after Cissokho's agent claimed the revised talks were moving well.
"It is inconceivable to think of accepting the loan when the Milan physician has admitted that the problem with his teeth is solved," Da Costa told Expresso.pt.
"Cissokho moves only for €15m and nothing less. If Milan do not return to the initial proposal, we will have no trouble keeping the player."
