Milan striker Nikola Kalinich needed "mattress".

Atletico began negotiations with Milan on the transfer of striker Nikola Kalinich - reports Corriere dello Sport.

According to the Italian edition, Atletico coach Diego Simeone personally called one of the leaders of Milan to find out the possibility of the transition of the 30-year-old Croat.

Simeone, of course, knows better, but recently Kalinich's performance is not impressive. In the season-2017/2018 Nicola played for Milan 41 matches in all tournaments, scoring only 6 goals. In addition, he was expelled from the Croatian national team performing at the World Cup 2018, for refusing to go on to replace.
