AC Milan have announced that they have sold young striker Federico Mangiameli to fellow Serie A side Bologna on a permanent deal.
The 18-year-old seemed to be on the cusp of becoming a Primavera regular, having netted three goals in seven games for the U18s and having also bagged twice for Ignazio Abate’s side last season, also playing three UEFA Youth League games.

Good luck for him.
Before anyone diss management for this, this is normal on young players. As the article say, the Primavera has a lot of strikers rn and he maybe won’t get much needed playing time.
If ge exploded later then good for him, if not, then okay. But even if he do explode, that will happen because he move, and if he stay he are not guaranteed to reach the same height.
