Directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara will try again in the coming weeks because they believe that Sanches is the right man to come in and bolster the midfield, but they look set to face a battle with their oldest rivals.
That is because Juventus are very interested in signing the 24-year-old too, as they are looking for a player with Sanches’ characteristics to increase physicality in the middle of the pitch. Di Marzio predicts that it will be a ‘great battle’ between Milan and Juventus on the transfer market for the former Benfica and Bayern Munich man.
Kulusevski 🙁
if he chooses Juventus he will have a similar situation like kaio Jorge, always injured.
