AC Milan want to sign the youngest player to ever play in La Liga, Luka Romero. The Argentine has been compared to Leo Messi.
For the mercato, AC Milan have showed that they have a very clear transfer policy. The Rossoneri are focusing a lot on young talents with potential to become top players in the future but importance is also given to experienced players. Ivan Gazidis strongly wanted Geoffrey Moncada as head scout and the former Monaco is doing an excellent job, in collaboration with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara. For the next transfer campaign, other young players are destined to arrive at Milanello with the Luka Romero being the Rossoneri’s dream.
The 16-year-old was born in Mexico but has chosen the Argentine national team despite having a Spanish passport. Romero plays in Spain with Mallorca and is considered one of the country’s biggest talents. Goal.com reports that the talented attacking midfielder has many admirers in Serie A including AC Milan, Inter, Juventus and Napoli.
Luka Romero is the youngest player to ever play a professional match in La Liga having made his debut on June 2020, at just 15 years and 219 days in a match played against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. A moment that will remain indelible in his memory.
Despite the relegation of Mallorca, he has not changed club. This season the young midfielder has made 8 appearances scoring one goal. The Argentine gem is linked to Mallorca with a contract until June 2023 although it is not a professional contract due to his age. He can leave in the summer at virtually no cost.
Top European clubs have made contacts to secure the young talent born in Durango. AC Milan are one of this clubs with Moncada eager to bring him at San Siro. Nevertheless, Mallorca will do everything to keep their players offering him a professional contract of five years with a high release clause. Romero has often been compared to Lionel Messi. Luka is a left-footed attacking midfielder only 1.65 m tall but very gifted on a technical level, fast and skilled in dribbling.
