    Atalanta sensation Petagna: 'nearly quit football because of Milan'

    Think AC Milan are bad with youth? Look no further than 21-year-old Atalanta goalscorer Andrea Petagna, one of the rising stars of Italian football. 

    Loaned to four different clubs in his time at Milanello, the Trieste-born striker was finally sold to Atalanta last summer. 

    "Milan decided not to take me to training camp two years ago" he said in a press conference with the Italian Under-21 team, "It hurt me so much I even considered giving up on football". 

    Petagna has had a heck of a season so far, netting three Serie A goals in four appearances, including the winner against Napoli at the weekend. 

    "I only had an offer from Ascoli, who were hoping to be reinserted into Serie B, I had no certainty about my future".
