AC Milan have fallen short with their offer for River Plate sensation Erik Lamela.
Clarin says the teenage midfielder has attracted a €12 million offer from Milan for his services this week.
But River are demanding €18 million and one club official mocked the Rossoneri offer: "They appear short of money."
Lamela, meanwhile, has been urged by local fans to stay with River while holidaying in Mar del Plata.
