MN: Milan closing in on signing of 27-year-old striker for U23 team – the details

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are not just working on signings for the senior team this summer but also those who can help to make the new U23 side a competitive one, and the first addition is close.

According to MilanNews, one of the first reinforcements for the new B-team will be Mbarick Fall, a 27-year-old striker. An agreement has practically been reached between the parties, and the deal will be finalised in the next few days.

Born in Senegal, Fall holds Italian citizenship. In the second part of the last season he was at Giana Erminio, while previously he played for Brindisi, Sangiuliano City – with whom he won promotion from Serie D to C – NibionnoOggiono, Crema and Fanfulla.

He came through the academy at Pro Sesto, a club for which he played for four seasons and with which he made his debut in the first team.

Last season he scored two goals and added six assists across all competitions, and it would be a signing that suggests that Milan are looking for some over-age players to help out what will be a very young core.

For example, Milan were linked yesterday with a move for the 24-year-old striker Andrea Adorante who scored 20 goals last season, helping to fire Juve Stabia to promotion from Serie C.

    1. Waste of resources, get someone who is younger and has potential, why bother with a 27 year old for me it’s counterproductive.

    2. 27 year old for un23s?????
      Acm management should step down now and limit the damage already caused
      They will sign rejects from other clubs

  1. For people questioning this, it’s normal for U23 teams to have a few more experienced players alongside – can’t just promote the entire Primavera to Serie C level

    1. What’s comedy here is people not understanding how a U23 setup works – there are always experienced players alongside the kids, go look at Juventus’ Next Gen team – quick glance will show several players over 30.

      1. People are too busy and hasty to go and mock/trash the club they claim to support. Googling the Juve-thing would have taken 10 seconds and saved from embarrassing themselves here but no… 🙂

  2. How did he not score more than 2 goals tho. Is he a Zirkzee ,Playmaking in a striker role.? Well if the teams struggle to finish scoring chances next season I know where to point fingers

  3. Some people on here will jump at any excuse to roll out a clown emoji or a lol face.

    Have you ever watched lower league football? It’s physical! Premier league academy teams – where there is an actually age cap (22) routinely get beaten up by 3rd and 4th tier teams in the EFL Trophy every year (Man Utd under 21s lost 8-1 to Bolton last season.

    Anyone who thinks last years primavera squad is going to go into Serie C and compete is dreaming. You need players that know the level. The development players won’t develop if they are getting bullied every week.

    Chill

  4. I’m not here to argue the decision is yes or no
    Don’t be panic that the striker that Redbird can afford for miland for now due to insufficient funds here we go
    Forza Milan 💯❤️🇳🇬
