AC Milan are reportedly struggling to sign Marco Sportiello in January because Atalanta do not want to let their backup keeper in the winter. The Bergamo-based club would rather lose him as a free agent in the summer transfer market window.
According to what is reported by Adriano Ancona, journalist of Il Corriere dello Sport, Alessio Cragno is the plan B for the red and black club management. He is on loan at Monza from Serie B club Cagliari.
Cagliari, for their part, have set the buy-option to become obligatory if Monza survive the league and remain in Serie A for the next season. The Serie B side want to have a guarantee that a club pays a fee of 10 million euros at the end of the season. Now, we'll have to wait and see what the Rossoneri club want to do in such a complicated situation.
