Luiz Adriano could be heading back to AC Milan less than a week after departing for Chinese side Jiangsu Suning FC, following a breakdown in negotiations.
It was anticipated that the 28-year-old would put the pen to paper and complete his €14 million move after arriving in China on Monday, although last-minute complications have thrown the deal into jeopardy and it now looks unlikely that the transfer will go ahead.
Brazilian media outlet GloboEsporte claimed on late Tuesday evening that the forward had sensationally pulled the plug on the deal and will now return to Italy.
The breakdown comes after the Chinese outfit failed to deliver on certain guarantees initially made to the player and thus the Brazilian has refused to sign a contract.
He is now expected to fly back to the peninsula in order resume training alongside his team-mates in Milan, though it remains to be seen whether the Rossoneri will retain his services or look for a new potential suitor.
