Junior Messias arrived ahead of the season, on the final day of the summer window, and it has been a mixed bag from him so far. While he has scored some important goals, AC Milan are still evaluating the buy-out clause.
The Brazilian played from start in the Rossoneri’s 1-0 win over Empoli last night and while he wasn’t terrible, his efforts didn’t amount too much. It’s clear that the right-wing position is one Milan must reinforce and that could change things for Messias.
As per MilanLive, the 30-year-old has a buy-out clause of €5.4m in his contract and while that isn’t much money, Milan are not fully convinced yet. He has been given a lot of space lately and Stefano Pioli had expected more concrete answers from him.
His future with the Rossoneri is thus considered in doubt, just like Tiemoue Bakayoko, but Alessandro Florenzi has seemingly convinced the club to pay his buy-out clause. The final nine games of the season will provide more answers, but it might be too late already for Messias.
