Journalist claims Milan will soon launch €14m offer for Argentina U20 star

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.
