Two of Argentina’s young stars will represent their country at the World Cup final on Sunday, and they could well have done so as AC Milan players.
One of the big reasons that Argentina are on the cusp of glory is thanks to the goal scoring exploits of Julian Alvarez, who has netted four times in the six games that he has been part of at the tournament so far.
Meanwhile, Enzo Fernandez has been a breath of fresh air in the midfield as he scored a very important group stage goal and looks a player well beyond his 21 years of age in terms of confidence.
As Pietro Mazzara of MilanNews writes, the Manchester City striker and the Benfica midfielder were both followed by Milan when they were at River Plate, and the Rossoneri were in talks over a deal for both albeit in summer 2021 and 2022 respectively.
Geoffrey Moncada had watched the duo in action and thought they could be an ideal fit for Milan, but nonetheless other choices were made.
