AC Milan are looking for reinforcements in different areas of the lineup, including the left-back, especially with Theo Hernandez's future being uncertain.
The French full-back has played a lot this season, even when not in the best possible condition, because the squad lacks a quality alternative (Filippo Terracciano has been adapted to that role with limited success). Between Agumela Kabar from Borussia Dortmund and the strong and the expensive Maxim De Cuyper, a new candidate has emerged from Brazil.
Who's the latest profile on AC Milan's radar to strengthen the team?
According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, the club has tasked its scouts in South America with gathering detailed reports on Lucas Piton Crivellaro from Vasco Da Gama. An elegant left-footed player with good ball progression, these are some of his best attributes. His strengths also include crossing, speed, and a strong personality for a relatively young player. For a 9 million euros fee, Vasco Da Gama would give the green light for the sale of one of their most representative players.
Milan's target, Piton, has Italian roots...
Currently, 24-year-old Lucas Piton is not the top candidate on the Rossoneri's shortlist, but he could rise up the rankings quickly due to a detail that can make a difference: born near São Paulo in 2000, he has held Italian citizenship since 2021 through his Venetian great-grandparents. He was already pre-selected by Roberto Mancini for Italy in 2023 ahead of the Nations League Final Four.
For a Milan with evident squad list issues, betting on an Italian player for the left flank could definitely be a good idea.
