As reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Matija Popovic will join become a new Milan player in the next few hours. The official announcement might finally come tomorrow.
Matija Popovic is a talent who can play as a centre-forward, second striker and attacking midfielder. He combines physicality with good technique in attack. His stats at Partizan are stuck at last season — 20 goals in 24 matches with the club's Under 17 team from Belgrade, because in this 2023-24 season, things changed when Matija decided not to sign his first professional contract with the team where he grew up.
He'll arrive at Milan without appearances in the first team, similar to Pierre Kalulu in 2020, and initially, he'll be destined for Abate's Primavera team. Any potential moves among the senior team will be seen as things progress; recent history with Francesco Camarda and hihs teammates in the youth sector teaches us that.
