AC Milan are looking to sign a goalkeeper amid the injury of Marco Sportiello, who is expected to be out for months after undergoing surgery. However, contradictory reports have arrived regarding their pursuit of a replacement.
Sportiello sustained an unfortunate injury to his hand while in the hotel before Milan’s game against Manchester City. Surgery was required and while this was successful, it is believed that the goalkeeper will now be on the sidelines for several months.
According to Marco Demicheli, speaking to Sky Italia (via MilanNews), Milan have chosen Simone Scufett as the replacement and now just need to reach an agreement with Cagliari. Niccolo Ceccarini, on the other hand, is reporting that the Rossoneri are yet to identify the right man.
The one certainty, of course, is that a goalkeeper will be brought in before the end of the transfer window. Some fans have been calling for Lorenzo Torriani – who has impressed heavily this summer – to be the deputy behind Mike Maignan but it seems unlikely.
Torriani will need consistent playing time to continue his development and he can get that with the Primavera, or potentially the Futuro team.
