AC Milan and Juventus are both interested in signing Bryan Cristante but the midfielder seems happy at Roma, according to a report.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via ForzaRoma), Cristante is a player that Roma want to keep because head coach Jose Mourinho has made it clear how much esteem he has for him, but now the ball passes to the management to agree a renewal with him.
Cristante has every intention of staying with the Giallorossi, but there are many clubs such as Milan to Juventus who have probed his entourage to see if there are the margins for setting up a possible negotiation.
For the 27-year-old however Roma are his priority and the management of the capital club intend to reward him economically for the important role he has on the pitch. He will not receive a figure like Lorenzo Pellegrini or Tammy Abraham gets, but negotiations shouldn’t be too difficult.
Cristante played in Milan’s academy from 2009 to 2014 and then went to Benfica before returning to Italy with Atalanta and eventually moving south to Roma.
I would love to see a primavera player back with us..
Just not him and maybe Locatelli instead?
Nice won locateli too
I saw him during Italy heavy defeated against Germany. He was terrible… very slow and always out of position. Sane and Kimmich totally crushed him. Maybe I am wrong, but seems a bad idea for me.
Very mediocre. The fact that he has played for the national team only shows how mediocre they’ve become. Why would we need him anyway?
Both Locatelli and Cristante are mediocre. Unfortunately Italy simply doesn’t have any Quality in midfield like their golden days. ALL of The young italian players are USELESS. Except Chiesa.
The potential future of Italy midfield is already in the Milan team. Tonali and Pobega. No need for these overpriced below avg players like Loca and Cristante.
The only other Italian player that I would be okay with Milan to buy is Chiesa and Belotti. Even Belotti is avg, but he is hard worker.
Italian Clubs really need to invest in their youth. In last 10 years, the only players who came out of Italy and is worth mentioning is Chiesa and Tonali.
Just imagine.. Chiellini and Bonucci.. are the last two Italian defenders who are actually Good. There is NOT A SINGLE italian CB who is worth the Azzuri shirt. Italy has a really dark time ahead.
ITALY.. a country that ALWAYS produced Legendary defenders like Baresi, Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Bonucci, Chiellini now doesn’t have even a half good CB. It’s really sad to see the decline.
