AC Milan impressed by Sao Paulo wonderkid
Sao Paulo 19-year-old right winger Antony dos Santos is the new Brazilian talent on AC Milan radar.
Since the arrival of sporting director Leonardo, AC Milan have increased their presence in Brazil. The signing of Lucas Paqueta was just the beginning and the number of Seleção players at San Siro will surely be bigger next season.
The primary target at the moment is Everton Soares. AC Milan have already agreed terms with the Gremio left winger but before completing a transfer the club must await news from UEFA regarding FFP limitations. If Champions League qualification is achieved then AC Milan’s work on the transfer market would certainly be easier.
After Everton, another Brazilian talent that has caught the eye of Leonardo is Antony. The 19-year-old right winger plays for Sao Paulo, one of the most famous and prestigious clubs in Brazil.
The left-footed youngster, who resembles Neymar in movements and dribbling qualities has attracted the attention of several European clubs. Antony was referred to Leonardo by the Rossoneri scouts who were impressed by his performances in the youth ranks reports Calciomercato.
