Junior Messias, 30, has managed to get himself on the scoring sheet 5 times with AC Milan this season in 17 appearances between the Serie A and Champions League competitions. He was brought in the summer to reinforce the squad of Stefano Pioli on loan from Serie B side Crotone who were relegated last season from the top flight.
His loan spell with AC Milan expires at the end of the current season and the club holds an option to buy rumoured around 5.4 million euros. Now, the question for the club directors is if the Brazilian is worth that buy-option fee or not.
According to Tuttosport in today's edition, Junior Messias has managed to get ahead of Alexis Saelemaekers in the last few weeks. He is conquering the right-wing position. His goal is to convince Milan to invest the fee necessary to keep him permanently at Milanello.
