Tuttosport: Pioli casts an admiring eye over Sassuolo star in search for new forward

AC Milan are in the market to sign a new right winger in the summer and Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi remains an option, a report claims.

Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers have each failed to seize the right wing spot, as the Brazilian has scored 6 goals across all competitions this season while the Belgian has netted 2 goals but has added 3 assists. It must be said that these are uninspiring numbers that are making the club think ahead of next season and the summer window.

According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the Rossoneri will be looking for a right winger on the summer market who can ensure a certain number of goals and assists and while the idea of signing Riyad Mahrez has cooled, there remains alternative options.

Berardi is an option that remains alive, as the Sassuolo star has 14 goals and 13 assists in 30 Serie A games for the Neroverdi this season – his third straight campaign with double digits in league goals – and Stefano Pioli is a big fan of the player.
