The club CEO says he believed he had wrapped up the signing of the France international and admits the club could also lose out on Jackson Martinez.
AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani says he believed he had agreed a deal to sign Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia until his team was gazumped at the last minute by city rival Inter.
The France international looked all set to join the Rossoneri after a deal worth around 40 million euros was agreed, in principle, for the 22-year-old France international.
The player's father told Galliani "see you in Milan on Monday" after a dinner with the club chief, only for Inter to step in with a bigger offer at the final hour.
