The AC Milan management believe that the youth sector is stocked full of talents who could be useful in the years to come, a report claims.
PianetaMilan start with one of the most interesting players in the ranks: striker Marko Lazetic. He arrived in January for €4m from Red Star Belgrade and he has already made his debut in the senior team, but with 5 goals in 9 appearances and 3 in his last 3 for the Serbian U19 team, the numbers suggest he is a real talent.
Another striker could become part of the future rotations in Lorenzo Colombo. He has already played a few games with the senior side but he is doing very well on loan with Lecce with 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 appearances. The Salentini have already made it known that they want to buy him, but Milan will exercise their buy-back.
In the defensive department there is Andrei Coubis, the captain of Milan Primavera. At 19 years of age he has already proven that he is a born leader standing at 1.90m and with a strapping physique.
Chaka Traore has been playing as a winger for Ignazio Abate’s side, and received praise from his head coach: “He has above-average qualities and great physical gifts. He can score 20 goals a year.”
Dariusz Stalmach who arrived in the summer from Poland and Filippo Scotti, both 16 years old, are also ones to watch. They have 5 and 7 appearances in the league already. Meanwhile, the two full-backs (left and right) Davide Bartesaghi and Adam Bakoune have also impressed.
Francesco Camarda gets a mention and rightly so given he has already scored over 500 goals in the youth sector at verious age groups.
After having watched a lot of primaveragames this season, I would say that Coubis, Simic and Lazetic are the only ones who I think will be candidates for the senior team. Stalmach came in late, and have not played a lot, so he will have to get more time in his legs before we can give an assessment.
No mention of Alesi? He has been one of the best players for the youth team this season.
