AC Milan's transfer market activity is moving on multiple fronts, with maneuvers aimed at strengthening the squad to be given to Massimiliano Allegri ahead of the upcoming season, and with increasing focus on identifying the most interesting talents on the European and global football scene. In fact, the Rossoneri club is operating carefully on the scouting front to identify promising profiles both for the Milan Futuro team and for the first team.
A new name shortlisted by AC Milan
In this context fits the new lead being explored by the Milanese management. As gathered and reported in the latest video update published on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel by Matteo Moretto, Milan have set their sights on Yanis Messaoudi, a 2009-born defender from Racing Club de France. A modern center-back, among the most talked-about at youth level, whom the Rossoneri want to bet on. Milan are reportedly the club currently closest to the young central defender, who is compared in his home country to Leny Yoro of Manchester United. Negotiations are still in an exploratory phase, but the interest is concrete, with the club aiming to get ahead of the competition to secure a raw diamond for the future, as relayed via Calciomercato.com.
What are Messaoudi's characteristics?
Born in 2009, Messaoudi played this season with Racing Club de France’s Under-17 team. He made 23 appearances, playing 1989 minutes and also scoring a goal in the match won against Lesquin’s peers. As mentioned, he is compared at home to Yoro — thus, an elegant center-back, clean in his tackles and with good timing. It is said of Messaoudi that he also possesses good ball-carrying ability and is adept at building play from the back.
