It’s reported that M’Baye Niang wants a last-minute change to the terms of his loan to Watford from Milan.
The transfer appeared to be a done deal, with the forward flying to England today to complete a €500,000 loan with an €18m option to buy.
That option would have become an obligation if Niang scored 10 Premier League goals before the end of the season, but now Mediaset channel Premium Sport is reporting a hitch in the deal.

That option would have become an obligation if Niang scored 10 Premier League goals before the end of the season, but now Mediaset channel Premium Sport is reporting a hitch in the deal.
According to the outlet, the Frenchman wants to renegotiate the terms of the deal, moving on a straight loan with no buyout option.
In addition, it’s thought Niang does not yet have a deal over personal terms with the Hornets, and is demanding £75,000 [€87,000] per week.
Everything is agreed between Milan and Watford, but it remains to be seen if the player will accept the move.
