AC Milan's scouting network, which is guided by Geoffrey Moncada, continue to scour the market for important opportunities and profiles. The latest name on the list is Alejo Veliz, a centre-forward born in 2003. He plies his trade for Rosario Central in Argentina and plays for the Argentinian national team U-20. He caught the attention of the Rossoneri in the latest U-20 World Cup competition.
Veliz is considered one of the most promising strikers in all of South America. He excels in aerial play, has a strong physique, and possesses good fundamental technique, which is further enhanced by his ability to be in the right place at the right time. Alejo is a target for Torino as well, and the player's agent, who arrived in Italy yesterday, will meet with them in the coming hours, according to what is reported by the Italian website Calciomercato.com.
AC Milan have not yet taken official steps for Veliz because they first need to sell Ante Rebic and Diock Origi, as well as decide on the future of Lorenzo Colombo. However, it's not ruled out that the management may attempt to sign him in the coming weeks because Moncada is very fond of Alejo.
Rosario Central values him at 14 million euros and is currently listening to several interested parties.
