Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada have been scouting the market for a centre-back ever since Matteo Gabbia left for Villarreal on a season-long loan. Pellegrino has been identified as the primary target and he could soon arrive.
According to Calciomercato.com, the player is really just one step away from Milan, who could close the deal at €6m plus a percentage on a future resale. The Rossoneri have thus shaved €2m off of the initial demand made by the Argentine side.
At the age of 21, Pellegrino is believed to have a very bright future ahead of him and another perk is the fact that he’s left-footed. Furthermore, he has an Italian passport and would not occupy a non-EU slot.
