Monaco defender Vanderson has admitted that he is happy to be linked with both AC Milan and Napoli, suggesting he could play in Italy one day.
Admittedly it is a while since Milan were linked with the full-back. Sebastian Denis of Footmercato back in 2021 revealed there was a total agreement between Gremio and AS Monaco for the 20-year-old at around €11m, but he mentioned the Rossoneri had also made a bid.
Given that he is likely someone that the scouting team have followed for a while it cannot be ruled out that he is still on the wish list, especially with Alessandro Florenzi and Davide Calabria both out of contract at the end of the season.
One of the main dangers for Bologna in tonight’s Champions League match against Monaco will be the Brazilian Vanderson, and he spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) ahead of the match at the Stadio Renato dall’Ara.
There has been talk recently about you potentially joining Milan or Napoli…
“I’m happy. It means I’m working in the right way. But I have a long contract here and I’m focused on Monaco.”
Will we see it one day in Serie A?
“I like it a lot and I’ve always followed it because of the many Brazilians, including Kakà. It’s a difficult championship, very tactical, an aspect that I love a lot”.
He reminds me of Theo Hernandez with a Brazillian flair
The Brazilian we needed
Him, Emerson, Theo, Jimenez and Terraciano are fine as fullbacks next season
Midfield depth is the bigger issue Ricci and/or Frendrup are a must.
We still need a true left-footed backup for Theo. No more “converted” this or that.
I will put him as a first priority for Milan.Then,I honestly said that we must have improvement at our defensive phase especially when you face against a big club such as Real Madrid.You know what I mean right?😁
I will suggest Amar Dedic from RB Salzburg as the second target for full-back.
