Milan, Richarlison the new target

AC have inquired about the availability of Brazilian wonderkid Richarlison. Fluminense have set a 15 million euros price tag for his services.

The rossoneri are thinking about the future as well as the present. The 9 new arrivals so far are very young (except Bonucci and Lucas Biglia) and will serve AC Milan for many years to come. After signing the Polish 17 years old wonderkid Przemyslaw Bargiel (read here) and insisting for Bayer Munich’s Renato Sanches (read here) the rossoneri are looking in South America to find talents that can grow in the coming years and make an important contribution to the team.

AC Milan’s sports director, Massimiliano Mirabelli, has explained that he wants players that can adopt immediately to Serie A and who have more experience playing in Europe. But he did not exclude any signings from South American countries that for many years have produced some of the brightest talents in circulation. Among this countries is Brazil that each year lunches very interesting talents in any position.

According to Sky Sport, Milan are chasing the 20 year old striker, Richarlison. He can play as centre forward but also as a winger. Richarlison debuted in Brazil with America Mineiro and last year he moved to Fluminense where in 60 matches has scored 15 goals. The Rossoneri would like to block him but the price tag is set at 15 million euros. Roma were also interested in him last year but the decided to sign Gerson instead.

AC Milan are moving forward for Richarlison but it won’t be easy to reach an agreement. The Rossoneri need to start negotiations if they really want to block this guy. Richarlison is one of the biggest talents in Brazil and obviously one of the most wanted in the transfer market. Other clubs are also monitoring his situation. Attention has to be paid to a possible auction. Fluminense will try to get the most from the sale of its jewel. After Thiago Maia he is the second starlet from Brazil to be linked to AC Milan.
