Alieu Njie is the talk of Italian media after the goal that decided Torino-Como fixture (1-0), but did you know he could have become a Milan player this summer?
Today’s edition of Tuttosport reveals a transfer market backstory.
In fact, Milan, with Geoffrey Moncada, tried to convince him to make the move in the last transfer window.
The Swedish player, who is 19 years old, was on the radar of the technical director, who saw him as the heir to Rafael Leao.
The plan for the player was clear: play with Milan Futuro but train regularly with the first team and join them if needed. The Swedish left-winger was a standout at the recent Memorial Mamma e Papà Cairo tournament, scoring a hat-trick against Milan’s Primavera team.
After mid-August, there were contacts with Torino, but club president Cairo immediately blocked any discussions, refusing to entertain any proposals.
Alieu Njie's numbers:
The left-winger turns 20 in May. His contract with Torino runs the summer of 2027. He has featured four times so far with Torino's first team, playing once in Coppa Italia and thrice in Serie A. He has one goal registered to his name, which was scored against Como in the league two days ago, as previously mentioned.
