Fiorentina and Atalanta are both circling in the hopes of being able to land Tommaso Pobega from AC Milan this summer, a report claims.
According to Calciomercato.com, the good first season in Serie A with Spezia on loan seems to have strengthened Pobega, who impressed during yesterday’s 6-0 friendly win over Pro Sesto with two assists and is set to be one of the most talked about players in the market.
Milan need to move the outgoing market after the approximately €60m invested to date by Elliott Management and Pobega – who turned 22 yesterday – could be one of the sacrifices made. It is no mystery that Atalanta and Fiorentina have come forward in recent weeks given his talent, with the former looking for a player with his characteristics as an alternative to Teun Koopmeiners of AZ Alkmaar.
Under contract until June 2025, the Rossoneri management want between €10-15m for Pobega, given the season he had with Spezia and his presence in the U21 national team. However, given Kessie’s absence due to the Olympics and the lack of a fourth midfielder at the moment, he will have amply time to show Milan his quality.
He could yet convince Pioli to give him an opportunity during a season that promises to be full of commitments, but if he were sold – along with Jens Petter Hauge – then Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have some money to use again.

The club managment will be crazy if they let this player leave. He has a bright future and I think he will mature faster than Tonali
They definitely don’t learn from their mistakes. Pobega will become even better than Locatelli. What Maldini and the others think about?
This boy is good let keep him and give playing time. If he should be sold then a buy back clause should be included
The problem is he wants to play regularly which Milan might not be able to give right now. Do a dry loan or sell him but put a buy back clause. let the kid plays more games in a bigger teams. atalanta is a nice place to do it
Sell Leao. Leave this player alone..
They should keep him, Loan Hauge and sell Leao, sign Ziyech to make the Rossoneri a deadly team
