Carlo Pellegatti has urged AC Milan to consider the signing of Marcel Sabitzer rather than Houssem Aouar ahead of the summer window.
Milan are set for changes in the midfield department ahead of next season given that Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali have been heavily relied upon and Franck Kessie was never really properly replaced.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Pellegatti spoke about Milan’s midfield department and more specifically about a target that he thinks could be ideal to add a bit of creativity and goal scoring ability.
“I saw that there are 7 Manchester United players who will be sold at the end of the year, as will happen to Chelsea. You can draw on these two markets, there are players who can be of interest,” he said (via MilanLive).
“In 2021 Milan were interested, when he played at Leipzig, I’m talking about Sabitzer. He’s a player born in 1994, an experienced player, not very tall. I’m not saying that Milan are interested in him but from 2014-15 – before arriving at Bayern – he had scored 40 goals.
“I would think about it if I were in Milan. He is a player of international caliber, Milan would certainly be stronger with him. Me between Aouar and Sabitzer I have no doubts, I’ll take the Austrian midfielder.”
Sabitzer is a actually owned by Bayern Munich and is on loan to Manchester United, with the midfielder destined to return to Bavaria at the end of the campaign but unlikely to remain with the Bundesliga team, making him a potential opportunity.
