5 Brazil stars Leonardo wants to bring at Milan

AC Milan technical director Leonardo, with the help of Ricardo Kaka, is scouting in Brazil for the best talents to bring at the Rossoneri.

Rodrigo Caio | Sao Paulo

The 25 year old centre back Rodrigo Caio is the only defender in this list. The talented Brazilian player is one of the best known figures in the domestic league. He has an Italian passport and for some times has been linked with a big move to Europe.

The Olympic golden medalist is an old target of former sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli but the Rossoneri failed to close at deal at the time. At the age of 25 he is at the height of his maturity and has an economic 18 million release clause.

Even though at the moment AC Milan’s defensive department seems complete, recently there have been rumors about the possible departure of Cristian Zapata. If the Colombian defender leaves in January or next summer Rodrigo Caio would be the perfect replacement.
