AC Milan continue to be linked with Atalanta's 30-year-old backup goalkeeper Marco Sportiello. The rumours claim that the Rossoneri have an agreement for his arrival as a free agent in the summer. However, given the serious injury of Maignan and his delayed return, they might be trying to get their man in January.
According to Il Giornale, the idea of bringing forward the arrival of Marco Sportiello by six months still stands, but Atalanta must lower their her demands in order to make this deal go through.
With this move, Il Diavolo club directors aims to protect himself in case Mike Maignan's recovery times become too long.
