AC Milan have been beaten to the signing of ‘one of the most promising young players in Europe’ today, as the Manchester City winger will head elsewhere in Europe, according to a report.
This summer, Milan have shared their focus between the senior and Futuro squads, and there have been some exciting signings made for the latter squad, who will eventually make their way into the senior side.
Therefore, it does not come as a shock that the Rossoneri were interested in young Manchester City winger Joel Ndala. The young winger is highly regarded across European football and is deemed as being among the most exciting talents in Europe.
Currently playing for the Citizens, the player is ready for regular senior football, which his current club cannot offer. Therefore, he will leave, per reports from The Athletic.
According to David Ornstein’s report, the winger will head to the Netherlands, where he will join PSV – initially on loan, and if certain criteria are met, the move will be made permanent for €7 million, but it could rise to €10m.
City will keep a keen eye on the youngster, though, and they have ‘clauses’ that enable them to buy him back later, or earn a ‘significant percentage’ of a sale away from his new club.
It could have been different, though, as the report states that PSV beat ‘several suitors’ including the Diavolo, suggesting that there were attempts made to land the player.
