CorVerona: Milan’s interest in Hellas Verona star has never gone beyond simple enquiry

It seems AC Milan’s interest in Hellas Verona star Mattia Zaccagni is not as concrete as initially thought, according to a report.

Milan must take action to reinforce the attacking department as the farewell of Hakan Calhanoglu requires the club to sign a replacement who will start in the No.10 role, hoping that Brahim Diaz will return from Real Madrid to be the back-up again.

According to today’s edition of il Corriere di Verona (via MilanLive), the Rossoneri have had simple interest in Zaccagni without advancing a concrete offer to Hellas, meaning there is no negotiation underway for the 26-year-old’s potential transfer to Milan.

Perhaps something could be developed if the Brahim Diaz operation were to fall through, but to replace Calhanoglu the club want a higher-level attacking midfielder. However, given Mattia Caldara and Andrea Conti are counterparts that Verona would like, an advantageous deal could also be explored in time.
