AC Milan interested in 4 Atalanta players
After Conti and Kessie, AC Milan could be back in business with Atalanta. The Rossoneri are interested in 4 Atalanta players.
Gennaro Gattuso’s team in recent seasons has often borrowed elements from Gian Piero Gasperini’s side. In 2017 AC Milan spent around 60 million euros to sign Franck Kessie and Andrea Conti. The 22 year old central midfielder is a pillar of the team despite his young age. Coach Gattuso has a great appreciation for him and can’t think of Milan without Kessie in the starting eleven.
The Italian full-back instead has struggled a lot in his two seasons at San Siro. Conti is definitely one of the biggest talents in Italian football but a severe knee injury has kept him out for nearly a year and a half. Thankfully hes is now fit and ready to challenge Calabria for the starting right-back role.
Without forgetting the arrival of Mattia Caldara from Juventus, even if the defender had established himself during his years at Atalanta. Caldara has made only one appearance with the Rossoneri but he should return within 10 days.
According to Tuttosport, during Saturday’s Atalanta-Milan match, the Rossoneri executives found a fertile opportunity to watch closely other Atalanta players who might be useful for Milan in the future, perhaps even in the next summer transfer window. Leonardo and Paolo Maldini can exploit the historically good relationship with the Percassi family and initiate new negotiations shortly for 4 players.
