GdS: Milan line up 20-year-old Barcelona starlet in case deal for defender falls through

AC Milan have an alternative in mind if they do not manage to seal a deal for Alessandro Florenzi of Roma, according to a report.

Il Corriere di Roma (via MilanNews) reported this morning everything is at a standstill regarding Florenzi’s move to Milan. There is an agreement between the player and the Rossoneri, but one with Roma is still missing and if the Rossoneri management do not accept a loan with obligation to buy (rather than just an option) the Giallorossi will not let the full-back leave.

Now, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) are reporting that Milan actually have a back-up plan in mind in the event that problems should emerge in their pursuit of Florenzi. The paper claims that plan B for the Rossoneri is Sergino Dest, a 20-year-old Barcelona full-back who could arrive at Milanello in loan.

Given the financial difficulties Barca are suffering with, they are looking to offload salary where possible.
