Milan, the latest on the Conti situation: Here are some of the youth players that Percassi wants

21 giu 2017

Negotiations are in a pretty advanced stage as a Milan deal for Conti could occur by the end of this week. After having signed Musacchio, Rodriguez, Kessie and André Silva, Andrea Conti might soon become Milan's fifth signing of the 2017 summer. The young Italian wing-back is pushing to join Milan as he wants to join Montella's team as soon as possible. Atalanta were initially asking for 30 million euros but are now willing to accept 28 million euros for him. Milan are still currently offering around 20 million euros but this difference shouldn't be much of a problem since the rossoneri club are also willing to offer a few youth players.

There are actually many names that are possible including older players such as Gabriel Paletta and Juraj Kucka. Then there are also the younger players which Atalanta are really focusing on. First off there is Luca Vido and then there is Mattia Pessina. Both of these players had a strong World cup with the Italian U-20 side as Milan might think hard before letting them go. Atalanta also like Gian Filippo Felicioli too as well as Raoul Bellanova (who plays with the Italy U17 side). These are some of Milan's top youth products as they will have to carefully choose which ones to give up....
