AC Milan are serious about signing Alejo Veliz from Rosario Central and they even have a bid ready, according to one journalist.
It was reported by Gianluca Di Marzio earlier today that the Milan management are examining the idea of signing a young striker and Veliz is a player that is very much on their list given his expressive exploits at such a young age.

Now, Argentine journalist Mati Mendia is reporting that Milan will send an offer for Veliz soon which will be worth €14m and will include a resale clause in favour of Rosaria Central.
The Rossoneri seem determined to win the race for the 19-year-old talent, who has 11 goals in 22 games this season and also scored three goals in four games for Argentina at the U20 World Cup last month.
He adds that several sources ensure that in the next few days the club will send an offer for the forward, who has an Italian passport which means he would not be a non-EU player. Rosario Central will not negotiate for less than €10m.
I’m not sure this guy has an Italian passport. I think that was Lucas Beltran. I guess we need to decide which one to choose.
Asi have said before this guy is a mixture of Abel Balbo and Batistuta, him with Colombo and Laztoc and Chaka we have an abundance of attacking players for the best 5-6 seasons
I really hope we get him, should move swiftly to avoid an auction
We’ll see if this story holds any weight. Lucas Beltran was also interesting, and we’re linked with both.
we got 1 more slot for non EU, so his transfer is still possible. I prefer him over Beltran, he’s an actual striker.
On his YouTube highlights he looks like the second coming of Oliver Bierhoff. Strong header game
I would look like Neymar on youtube highlights, and I have two left feet.
@Patryk – Sure if u can do rainbow flick or sombrero
Romero and Veliz, the new version of Dybala and Higuain😄
Konate rbs
I want Okafor to get a decent run at CF, we’ve been crying out for a mobile striker since Bacca
Bacca was fun, but that’s not the type of game Pioli wants to play unfortunately, although I do agree that I think it would fit better with our counter attack capabilities but instead Pioli wants a possession style attack where we can have a marksman up top that holds up play and brings the entire team up and can finish headers.
I would also prefer if Milan play Okafor CF or sign that Georgian ‘Mikatudze’ from Metz that Milan was linked with earlier, but then again im not a professional coach and Pioli is, so I guess ill trust him
I look life seedorf in YouTube.. with my big ass.. you need to watch me play. Am simply a playmaker
Cannot sign this wonderkid unless ACM success sell origi + rebic first
Genoa signed Retegui for €10 million. Pioli is a damned idiot.
Alllll because he didn’t sign a player you personally wanted. And if Retegui is soooo amazing why was he signed by a relegation battler and not a better team?
Maybe it’s because he’s actually a mediocre player being overhyped.
The directors of Italian teams are imbeciles. Retegui is already an international. He’s the perfect signing, he’s a good age with room for growth yet we’re linked to trash like Morata. You have clubs like Brighton in England finding bargains in South America and selling them for massive profits, while we sign junk like RLC and Pulisick and other Italian teams hoover up garbage from the rest of Europe. It’s a sad reflection on Serie A that the big clubs overlooked Retegui. They’d rather sign foreigners.
Sooner is better. Longer is worse. Like cdk and botman
Every transfer is a gamble. I would still bet on this one. He’s got the killer instinct in him. A raw gem that needs to be properly polished. Not to mention his current stature is quite terrifying for a 19 year old boy. He could be a monster. Get him, we need this type of player. Our only real ST is Oli. So I prefer him over Beltran.
PS : might also turned to be a Colombo.
Rather him than the overpriced Balogun.
Agree, we got Okafor who’s equally mobile, taller and got nice shooting, albeit more injury prone. So we don’t need Balogun. We need a target man to replace Oli and Veliz has the quality and potential to be a top striker. He could still grow physically too.
The next Lazetic?
