GdS: Skipping the Futuro – Milan could fast-track Diawara to senior spot to ‘shadow’

This morning, it was confirmed that AC Milan would sign Sankhoun Diawara and a plan could already be in place.

Despite not having arrived at Milan yet – heck, he’s not even been announced yet – there would already appear to be a plan in place for Diawara. Indeed, the young French central defender was picked up for around €2 million and is seen as a player for the future.

However, it seems that the plan would be for him to skip the Futuro at this moment…

Plan for Diawara in place

As Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning, Milan already have an idea in mind for Diawara. Indeed, he will immediately be thrown into a ‘shadowing role’ under Strahinja Pavlovic, whom he is seen as ‘very similar’ to.

He was offered a starting spot with Rangers, but he instead opted for the chance to learn with the Rossoneri, which is a major tick in the box.

Like Andrej Kostic, the plan – at least initially – was for him to join the Futuro squad. However, he could well skip that step and head to the senior team straight away with the management already making considerations about his ability.

We shall have to see, but Ruben Amorim is keen to offer opportunities and Gerry Cardinale wants to see talent nurtured from the youth teams.

      1. Bring back the 8-3 in a starting 11. F****** Bosman Ruling.
        Your point of them renewing Comotto and Camarda should not be a highlight of a comment in some platform but rather, a normality of a club for acknowledging their talents; discovering and nurturing and then developing and finally, not letting go of Italian talents, that should be the priority of every club in Italy.
        But was Ricci truly given his chance? Hell no mate, we all know that too well, much too well; and game after game after hideous game, Fofana the fofo was chosen instead. And now? They’re looking for a CB to replace Gabbia, who in my opinion is the one who truly deserves wearing the armband…
        I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that there’s an influx of foreign players annexing homegrown Italian players. Kudos to them for renewing Comotto and Camarda; they’re brilliant talents and they must not be let go, no matter what. But the question always remains: how long actually till they do let them go or sell them and then replacing them with some shitty Origi type of players?
        So yeah, as Sam commented above: “when it comes to a foreigner they immediately got the trust of the managers”.

        Well done AC Milan!

  1. Him on the left, dewinter , and Odogu on the right of a back three,pace ,height, strength,this could be a really good back three.

  2. Yeah thats really a trio for the future. In an ideal world they would all get plenty of minutes vs easier opponents in EL and the cup, but i think Odogu will be loaned out and Diawara only get a few minutes here and there if Inacio were to arrive.

    But with a possible 60 game season we need 6 CBs. Question is which 6 that will be?
