AC Milan warned they must pay a fair price for Honda

The Russian club are willing to sell
the Japan attacker due to his
contract running down but only for
an offer they consider to be realistic
CSKA Moscow have told AC Milan they
are willing to sell Keisuke Honda this
summer - but only if they receive a fair
price.
General director Roman Babaev has
clarified the club's position over the Japan
star, who has long been a target of the
Rossoneri.
He told Sport Express: "The ball is in
Milan's court now. Our position is clear -
we are ready to let him go if we receive a
reasonable offer."
Honda will be out of contract in
December, meaning he is already free to
negotiate a pre-contract agreement with
other clubs, but reports in Italy claim
Milan are keen on a cut-price deal to push
through a transfer this summer.
Babaev admits such a scenario is a
possibility, but does not want his club to
be taken advantage of in the market.
"The situation has not changed. Honda
could be speaking to another club at the
moment because the rules allow it," he
continued.
"We are pleased that Milan are interested
but we also have to be realistic. Yes, his
expiring contract affects his market value
but there is a limit as to how low we can
go.
"We are not worried if he ends up leaving
the club on a free transfer. It is a difficult
decision to make - part ways with Honda
now or keep him until his contract
expires.
"We are interested to know how this
progresses."
