Last night, Gianluca Di Marzio spoke live on ‘Calciomercato – L’Originale’ about Liberali, revealing that Milan are pushing to bring him back. Cesc Fabregas’ Como have been very interested in the youngster for days now and have pitched their ideas regarding the 19-year-old’s development.
In recent hours, the Rossoneri have made a concrete attempt to re-sign Liberali. He departed under a cloud last year, but now there is a new director and a new coach. Amorim sees the academy graduate as an ideal player for his system.
Liberali and his agent Lucci will make a decision this week: Como has the upper hand, but beware of this last-minute move by Milan. The Rossoneri – with the 50% resale clause agreed with Catanzaro – would end up paying just €3m for the signing if it happens.
Amorim leads the charge
According to MilanNews, Amorim is doing everything he can to convince Liberali. The Portuguese coach is pushing hard to convince the Italy U19 star to return to the Rossoneri, speaking seriously and concretely about the role he would tailor for him.
The Portuguese coach sees the Catanzaro playmaker as the perfect fit for the role of attacking midfielder behind the striker, one of two players to be employed in the new Milan.
For his part, Liberali still has doubts – especially after what happened last year – about the continuity of the club’s project, which has completely changed again this summer.
It remains to be seen what decision he and his agent Alessandro Lucci will make in the coming days, but it’s absolutely certain that Amorim is doing everything he can to bring Liberali back to Milanello.
