In addition to adding experience to the first team this season, through the signings of Granit Xhaka and Luka Modric among others, work is also ongoing to bolster the youth teams. As always, Geoffrey Moncada and his scouting department seem to have various names on their radar.
One of them, according to Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, is Yanis Messaoudi who currently plays for Racing Club de France. Born in 2009, he’s very young still but he’s a player that many have spoken highly of already, as the journalist states.
Some have even compared him to Leny Yoro, who had his breakthrough at Lille before joining Manchester United (Milan were interested in him then too). As Moretto states, at least for the time being, the Rossoneri are ‘closest’ to securing Messaoudi’s services despite some competition.
It remains to be seen if negotiations can enter an even more concrete and advanced stage, but it’s a name that Milan are keeping a close eye on. For the first team, however, all eyes are on Parma’s Giovanni Leoni with an offer already drafted.
