Alessandro Buongiorno feels ready to take the next step in his career and the idea of joining AC Milan tempts him, according to a report.
Milan were heavily linked with a move for Buongiorno during the January transfer window as they looked for a reinforcement to help their injury crisis, but he was taken off the market by Torino president Urbano Cairo.
The links have continued since then, and Buongiorno recently admitted that he idolises two Milan legends which has certainly fuelled the speculation that a move could be on the cards.
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanPress), the Italy international had opted to stay at Torino last summer despite Atalanta’s advances. In the winter he was tempted by Milan , but nothing came of it.
Now Buongiorno feels ready for the big step: he wants the biggest stages, which means he wants the Champions League. For this reason he is also ready to say goodbye to Torin , the team of his heart.
He would willingly stay in Turin, where he has a contract until June 2028, but the paper claims that he has given a mandate to his agent, Giuseppe Riso, to listen to offers from top Italian and foreign clubs.
Inter are in pole position but Milan are also in the race, while Juventus can be excluded as a team to which the defender has no intention of going to of respect for the Granata.
Cairo and Vagnati’s request has not changed: they want €40m to sell. In Italy, given the different financial resources compared to the Premier League, the figure could fluctuate around €30m.
