Mario Giuffredi is an Italian well-known football agent who represents the interest of his clients such as Andrea Conti and the Parma left-back who has been recently linked with a move to Milan, Giuseppe Pezzella.
The intermediary was asked about Parma's right-back in an interview with Radio Marte and said the following:
"We were very close but unfortunately AC Milan made another choice."
The other choice was Senegalese 24-year-old left-back Fodé Ballo-Touré who signed in the last few days with the Rossoneri coming from Monaco.
