CorSport: Milan trying to sign Lazio Primavera star for Futuro – offer made

By Oliver Fisher -

Having gone through all the necessary procedures after months of planning, AC Milan want to make the ‘Milan Futuro’ a success and this includes making some signings to help the team.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan), the Milan management have presented an offer to Claudio Lotito’s Lazio for the midfielder Jacopo Sardo who is a star of the Biancoceleste’s Primavera side.

As with Matteo Dutu – who did a medical a few days ago – he would initially be assigned to Milan Futuro in Serie C then there will be the possibility of him quickly gaining promotion to the first team.

The Roman newspaper claim that the fee that has been offered is less than €1m including bonuses, but it is a sizeable bid, and a 20% resale clause would be included. Sardo does not have a professional contract at the moment.

Lotito, however, is also trying to include a counterpart in the operation, perhaps the loan of Lorenzo Colombo who returned to Milan after his last year at Monza. He would replace Ciro Immobile, sold yesterday to Beşiktaş .

If he were to go abroad, Lazio could receive just €100k from Sarda’s exit given that is the basic compensation owed to the academy a player came through.

With Lazio Primavera, the 19-year-old midfielder amassed 34 games, scoring eight goals and adding three assists.
