With Marco Sportiello injured, AC Milan have taken to the market to browse some opportunities, and Simone Scuffet had arisen as a potential candidate, but it seems a deal will not be done.
Milan’s luck with injuries in the past 12 months, and beyond, has been almost comical, and the bad comedy extended with Sportiello’s freak injury. The goalkeeper suffered a cut to his hand before the Rossoneri’s friendly against Manchester City, and he will face a few months on the sidelines.
With this in mind, the Diavolo then had two solutions. Either source a replacement from the mercato, or look to the youth setup, and the latter option has seemed the increasing preferred option with Lorenzo Torriani impressing heavily in pre-season.
The alternate option came in the form of Simone Scuffet, but it seems this option could be off the table after a report from Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News) revealed that the goalkeeper and his club, Cagliari, are not convinced by Milan’s proposal.
Originally, the Diavolo had the idea of taking the goalkeeper on loan, with a boosted salary, but the offer has not convinced either party, least so Scuffet, who does not want to leave a starting jersey to play second fiddle.
We have Torriani then. While he still needs to work on a few things, he’s seems far more mature for his age. No need to sign anyone else.
bite us?! only chance you had to do anything with your career….
Why you hating? He wants to play rather than be a second fiddle. Much respect to the guy.
OK, I do not think you are convincing either. Your 5 sexonds of glory are gone.
Bye
So he should leave the starting spot he enjoys to become another fiddle that might or might not see games with Milan.
I know you are a fan, but Serie a and it’s players do not revolve around Milan.
Why do we need scuffet when we have 3 promising young keepers already especially torriani. Waste of money.
Torriani, Nava are another good GK from Milan academy. No need to sign backup GK.
If they sign a keeper then it shows that the Futuro is a waste of time.
The Futuro cannot become the latest excuse not to give youth players opportunities in the first team squad, or become just another dumping ground when we’ve signed too many players.
If the idea is to actually bring these players into the first team ‘one day’ then they need to back these players rather than constantly signing new players to the first team that we don’t need.
