AC Milan have beaten several rivals in the race for Daniele Petrone’s signature, reaching an agreement with Benevento and the 16-year-old.
Most of the focus has been on the first team this summer, as one would expect, but there is now some big news for the academy. As was first reported by our correspondent Luca Maninetti, Milan have secured the arrival of Petrone from Benevento.

The striker, who was born in 2009, also attracted the interest of Atalanta, Juventus, Fiorentina and more, according to reports from MilanNews. The fact that the Rossoneri managed to clinch the deal is thus a success. Given his age, Petrone should join the Primavera side.
Who is Petrone?
Granted that there isn’t a lot of information on the youngster, he joined Benevento’s youth ranks in 2023 and got his ‘breakthrough’ with the U16 side this past season. In total, he found the back of the net 13 times.
It probably would have been more if it hadn’t been for a contract disagreement with Benevento, failing to reach an agreement on the professional contract. He was thus excluded from the final games, so the Milan move is coming at the right (and expected) time.
When clubs like Atalanta are keeping tabs on a youngster, there is usually something good behind that. Milan have also identified their fair share of talents over the years, so Petrone’s goalscoring abilities have clearly left a mark.
Seems we have to send spies to follow around Atalanta’s scouts. If they are sniffing around a player, we snatch him eh?
Banyak pemain depan atau stiker muda berbakat di Milan hanya cuma hiasan untuk di jual, banyak stiker muda² Milan di lempar ke klub² kecil yg tidak berbobot utk sebagai pemain cadangan dan jarang di jadikan pemain inti. Contoh pemain muda berbakat camarda,malah di pinjamkan ke klub yg tidak berbobot. Kasihan pemain² muda berbakat malah dipinjami ke klub lain. Bukannya di mainkan ke klub utama. Milan malah membeli pemain muda dari klub luar
Fenerbahce have beaten Milan for brown signing. What Theo said was 💯 correct. The management too slow and no ambition. No direction… 🤣🤣😆😆😂😂
The hell are you talking about, we sent him a private jet. He just honoured his end of the deal as he had negotiated earlier with fener than with Milan. Not everyone is Hakan Calhanoglu you know.
go google “Brown waiting until last minute for Milan to match Fenerbahce bid”..
Welcome lad. Now, you’ll be expected to replace Gimenez for the first few games of the season.
Pemain muda mulu
