AC Milan directors are already busy and active even before the opening of the transfer market window. The club wants to make the team available to Stefano Pioli better and more competitive.
Despite the losses of Hakan Calhanoglu and Gianluigi Donnarumma, Milan held up well in the Serie A overall. But, much more quality is needed if they want to stay on top. The idea is to let go of some unwanted players and bring in some affordable talents who can give a helping hand.
In this context, Samu Castillejo is reportedly set to say farewell to his teammates in January. To replace him, there is a new hypothesis which arrives within the Serie A.
According to what is reported by Calciomercatoweb.it, the management have added to their shortlist a name from Fiorentina.
The profile discussed is Riccardo Sottil, an attacking right-winger of La Viola. He is young, only being 22, and is represented by agent Giuseppe Riso who enjoys a very good relationship with AC Milan. As for the pricetag which could be demanded by Rocco Commisso's Fiorentina, it could be set somewhere from 12 to 15 million euros.
The young talented player of La Viola, Sottil, spent two loan seasons before with Pescara then Cagliari last term. Now, he returned to his club, he appeared in 9 Serie A games and 1 Cup fixture: he has only one goal to his name so far.
