AC Milan are advancing in talks over a deal to sign Sheffield United midfielder Vini Souza, according to a report from a journalist in England.
According to what Alan Nixon is reporting on his Patreon, Milan have moved to sign Souza from the Blades, who suffered relegation from the Premier League last season and are preparing for a push to get back up to the top flight.
Nixon states that Fulham were the team that had been pushing to try and land the Brazilian, but that it’s Milan who are now ‘working the hardest behind the scenes’ to sign the 25-year-old, who plays as a defensive midfielder.
Souza has a deal at Bramall Lane which runs until 2027 but it is widely expected that he will depart this summer. Nixon adds that Milan have an issue with their ‘foreign’ quotas – which we presume means the non-EU slots – but they hope Souza can get a Portuguese passport.
Milan were mentioned as suitors for Souza in a report from the same journalist a couple of weeks ago and he also claimed that Fulham had seen a £15m bid rejected for him, with £30m the figure that Sheffield United want to sell, which is around €35m.
Given that the Rossoneri have run into trouble in their pursuit of Youssouf Fofana because Monaco have set a similar asking price, it seems hard to imagine them spending so much on a player who had a mixed season, albeit in a team that really struggled.
Another random link. Doubt this one is likely. Let’s move on , if we don’t get Fofana we aren’t paying 35mn for this guy.
What happened to Fofana I thought it was a done deal
It’s strange how Tanner Tessmann doesn’t tingle their dingle. He’s American, a DM and cheap.
Tessmann is a good shout
Talk to Furlani’s hand
or Hojbjerg before he went to Marseille. Marseille got him for loan with an option to buy for 14M€. Clearly cheaper than Fofana and an actual DM with experience.
journalist Alan Nixon is wrong or he should put forward his sources on this for validation. And if the deals doesnt happen he should throw himself into Thames
I don’t think there’s any chance, but would be a decent deal if so; a lot of good players in the English second division
I am not sure bout this report but nothing can surprise me bout this management as they always have plan A but end up with plan K.
Hahahaha
If someone pays £30 mill for Souza I will drive him for free , he is useless , the sooner he goes the better , worst signing in years at United and there have been a lot .
Never seen or heard of Souza up until an hour ago, but if he is so useless, why is Sheffield utd asking 3 times more than what they paid for him just 12 months ago?
He’s not useless but in his head he thinks he is good enough for the Brazilian national team he is nowhere near that level i’d say his worth is probably arpind 8 to 10 million pounds
He’s dog 💩 and a terrible attitude to go with it. Hopefully someone is daft enough to take him off our hands.
not worth a quid
Overpriced sh!t player
Milan should get Fofana and stop all this unnecessary link to below average players
