At the moment it seems as though a €20-25m to buy the 20-year-old, but that figure could soon rise to €30m because of the performances he is putting in for Denmark at the European Championships. The paper added that Rafael Leao could be sacrificed for €20m in order to sign Damsgaard.
Ferrero spoke to Rai GR Parliament and was asked about the future of Damsgaard after such a breakout tournament, and he certainly has not downplayed the winger’s price tag.
“The presidents have to settle down, otherwise there is no market. Damsgaard is not for sale because I want to reach a valuation of 30 to 50 million euros. He is a pure talent,” he said (via MilanLive).
