Mister X – Who will be AC Milan’s top summer signing

AC Milan have been very active on the transfer market already signing three players but the club is preparing another top level purchase.

Gedson Fernandes | BENFICA

Benfica star Gedson Fernandes is AC Milan’s top transfer target according to Pellegatti. The Rossoneri have contacted the Portuguese club and have received very encouraging signals.

Benfica are willing to sell Gedson Fernandes to AC Milan for 30 million euros plus bonuses. A figure that, at the moment, is slightly excessive for Milan. Except the money expected to be invested for Veretout, Milan have another 25 million euros available to spend.

However, this figure could soon change if the Rossoneri sell an important player. Donnarumma, Suso and Kessie would guarantee important figures that would be reinvested to fund a move for the 19-year-old Portuguese.

The presence of Benfica’s sporting director, Rui Costa, a former legend of the Rossoneri, could facilitate a deal. AC Milan intend to offer 25 million euros plus 10 million in bonuses to convince the Portuguese.

Gedson Fernandes is widely regarded as one of the best talents in European football. Despite his young age, Fernandes made his Primeira Liga, Champions League and full international debuts all within a matter of months. An unparalleled progress that proves his Immense talent.
