Matteo Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, spoke as follows about the future of Vincenzo Italiano and Alex Jimenez:
On Vincenzo Italiano:
"Yesterday there was an important meeting between Italiano’s entourage and Bologna. The signals coming out are of great optimism regarding the continuity of this project. Bologna does not want to repeat what happened a year ago with Thiago Motta; they believe a lot in Italiano and want to continue with him. As of today, Italiano’s future is definitely more at Bologna than at other clubs. Let’s see if the renewal will be signed in the coming days, but there is great optimism in Bologna on this matter."
On AC Milan's Alex Jimenez, Moretto said:
"Jimenez did well in a difficult season for Milan. Even the one who will arrive, namely Igli Tare — who between today and tomorrow will sign and become the new sporting director of the Rossoneri — considers him an important player. Regardless of Real Madrid, who have control over the player with the well-known buy-back option, and the interest of an important club ready to make a significant offer for him, Jimenez’s priority is to stay at Milan. He is considered an important piece for the future of the Rossoneri."
