Out of nowhere, AC Milan are close to agreeing a deal to sign André from Corinthians, according to reports.
Milan’s management always keeps an eye on the emerging talent market, as seen with the signing of David Odogu from VfL Wolfsburg during the summer window, as well as various additions for Milan Futuro during the January window.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has posted the following: “AC Milan are in advanced talks to sign André from Corinthians! 2006 born talented midfielder seen as top talent on a deal worth over €12/13m fee. Agreement at final stages with André, talks advanced with Corinthians as ESPN reports.”
Sometimes deals come completely out of the blue, and this is very much the case with André as there had been no previous links. The 19-year-old plays mainly as a box-to-box midfielder, but has also operated further forward and further back, as an attacking or as a defensive midfielder.
He has played 11 senior games for Corinthians with a couple of goals to his name despite his young age. Amid the reports earlier today claiming that the directors were looking for the final piece for the midfield, perhaps they view the Brazilian as someone capable of completing the department.
He looks OK from the few videos on YouTube, except his refusal to use his left foot. He certainly likes to push forward.
Sou brasileiro já vi alguns jogos dele , na minha opinião tem muito potencial
Thanks bro for the heads up from Brazil 🇧🇷
With Modric likely leaving end of season (retirement or one more season back in his homeland)
We would have Jashari as the starting pivot. Ricci as an alternative, Rabiot undisputed starter. Then still room for a guy that can play no.6 or no.8 as a rotation, whether we keep or sell Fofana. So if this guy Andre is even half decent he’ll get minutes without the pressure of relying on him every game.
Any Brazilians here that can give some feedback on his potential? Hes only 19 but there have been plenty of failed “wonderkid” signings in the past
prediction, Modric will stay, Jashari will go back to the bench, this guy Andre will play in pre season, then late in the window we’ll sign Goretzka who will take his place for 99% of games. Awful football will resume
Allegri will hate this so I like it. Hopefully another manager will play him next season
Someone like De Zerbi, Amorim or Xabi Alonso as some suggest right? All top choices who are currently striving in their clubs.
honestly yes, any of them I’d take over Allegri. Though I’d prefer not to have Amorim as he’s pretty married to a back 3. I think Xavi did an underrated job at Barca too. A year ago we’d have KILLED to have Xabi Alonso, he didn’t become a bad manager overnight at Real, that club is a circus.
Allgri will send him straight to the bench. He wants Casemiro.
13ml wasted losses the ball often strong body but weak mentality hardworking is the only good thing he has

You would prefer ‘do nothing’ Ricci over Fofana?? My goodness!! Okay then…Thankfully Allegri knows better.
