AC Milan and Atlético Madrid, will not just face each other in the Champions League, but there could also be an opportunity to discuss an old transfer target.
Today, Stefano Pioli's men will be focused to play a very high-level match against Diego Simeone's Atléti. Despite some absences in the team, the Rossoneri will try to display all qualities and power to get a useful result.
As for the club management, they are looking forward to the game, naturally as it is the first match at the San Siro in the Champions League after 7 years. But also, it is a chance to discuss a transfer market opportunity.
It is known that a couple of years back, Paolo Maldini with the then sporting director at Milan Zvonimir Boban tried to sign Atlético's forward Angel Correa. However, negotiations never really took off reportedly due to financial matters.
AC Milan are always looking for a right-winger and in this case, the Argentinian player of the Spanish club would be a great fit.
According to what is reported by Calciomercatonew.it Paolo Maldini could rekindle interest, with the help of Frederic Massara, in Angel Correa.
The winger has a contract set to expire in 2024 and is valued by his club at 30 to 35 million euros. Correa is 26 years old and has played 8 games so far, scoring 1 goal and assisting another.
