AC Milan are interested in signing River Plate winger Julian Alvarez and have learned his asking price, according to a report.
Described by Calciomercato.com as ‘the new talent of Argentine football’, the Rossoneri are apparently keen on signing the 21-year-old, who has already made his debut for the Argentine national team. He is more of a right-sided player who is able to beat his man, and his main weapon are assists as he amassed 7 in the last season.
The Milan scouting area has been monitoring him for some time and the reports are more than positive, which means their interest could move from a simple admiration to something more concrete. At present, Milan have not opened a negotiation with River Plate but are kept informed through his agent Fernando Hidalgo.
Alvarez has a €25m release clause while his contract expires in December 2022. Several Premier League clubs are circling including Aston Villa, but he dreams of wearing the Rossoneri shirt.
In the next few days Maldini and Massara will make a decision on the player, who could become a useful attacking weapon for Pioli.

Alvaro would be the spark that gives ACM advantage over the rest of the field.
Maldini could this be your saving grace?
Only if you act quick, make this happen for the rosso neri!
Yeah, sure. Can’t pay the money for Vlasic but give the same to River Plate for a player with no experience in Europe…
English teams can afford that risk (but may struggle with work permits); Milan cannot
Juan Alvers will be new Messi and Shevachenko
Milan management must hurry to sign him immediately;Along wiht Chaka Traore from Parma who is bond to be snatched by Club Bruge of Belgium.Other wise milan scout’s work will be marketing cost for others
