Report: Milan and Roma big admirers of Nantes playmaker with 12 goals this season

Nantes reported Emmanuel Merceron is reporting that Blas is popular in Italy with Milan and Roma both keen on landing him. The Giallorossi are expected to lose Jordan Veretout so they are in the market for a quality replacement, but the two Italian sides ‘are among the many contenders’.

The Rossoneri are likely to be in the market for a versatile forwards who guarantees more end product than the likes of Brahim Diaz, Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias have this season.
