Not sure if you lot are aware here, but Milan want to terminate his 2 year loan. They are actually refusing to play him so he doesn't hit the 15 match appearance mark which would then turn into an obligation to buy.
Far as I'm concerned I would be glad if this tarnished the relationship between the clubs. We've given them Giroud for free and assisted them in countless of loans to which the wage terms were pathetic. Personally hope the next time Milan inquire us about any players, we give them the finger.
