The AC Milan directors, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, have been in contact with the entourage of an interesting player for some time now, writes Calciostyle.it.
We are talking about Vincenzo Grifo. According to the source, negotiations are being conducted separately with both the club and the player, and the path seems to be moving in a positive direction. His club, SC Freiburg want around 15 million euros, and the player is asking for a salary of around 4 million.
The negotiations could intensify by mid-March, so that all parties can arrive at definitive agreements by June. The contacts are constant, and the AC Milan - SC Freiburg line is very active. The player is capable of playing both as an attacking winger (left or right) or as an attacking midfielder. His arrival would free up Messias Jr and Yacine Adli, who do not seem to be part of the future plans.
Standing at 1.81 cm and weighing approximately 80 kg, he is 29 years old and was born in Pforzheim, Germany, holds dual citizenship (German and Italian), and is part of Roberto Mancini's Italian national team. Vincenzo Grifo is the son of Italian immigrants and has established himself in the Bundesliga. The player's father is from Naro, province of Agrigento, while his mother is from Lecce. He played in youth teams with VIR Pforzheim, Germania Brotzingen, and Karlsruhe. He made his professional debut with the Hoffenheim jersey.
Grifo, who turns 30 in April 7th, is right-footed and has netted 13 goals and 6 assists in 29 appearances so far this season.
