The mercato could be used to bring in an intriguing young talent at the next opportunity, with AC Milan watching a potential star.
Scouts never stop, with the football calendar rarely allowing time for them to stop. Over the summer, assessments are made, and whilst they continue over the months that follow, they also need to spend time finding new targets.

Brazillian talent
The latest idea that the recruitment team are hooked on is Rayan, according to Calciomercato.com journalist, Daniele Longo. At 19 years old, he is currently playing for Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian Serie A and is seen as a ‘true talent’.
This weekend, he scored his 11th goal in 27 appearances, with the latest coming against Flamengo, who were solid in the Club World Cup this summer, potentially proving his quality further.
Longo states that the striker is under ‘the magnifying glass’ of the Rossoneri, who are already interested in the future of the Brazil Under-17 forward; however, they are not the only club to be taking an interest.
Previously, Barcelona and Roma have had an interest in the striker, and if his scoring record continues to impress, other European heavyweights will take an interest. He remains one to watch for now, after all, nothing can be done until the mercato opens.
Really hope they sign this guy, he passes the eye test
Seems he has 80M release clause and Barcelona, Liverpool and Chelsea are tracking him. Let’s see.
People are deluded. Aside from the fact that these types of players usually have valuations that far exceed our budget his natural position is RW. Not sure if people have noticed, but WE DON’T USE WINGERS ANYMORE. And if Allegri somehow decides to abandon the 3-5-2 that he’s used for the last decade and is working well for him again and changes to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, we already have two LWs (Leao and Nkunku) and two RWs (Pulisic and Saelemaekers). If we’re spending 50M, spend it on a striker that scores. Case closed.
