Tuttosport: Torino aim to secure Milan outcast Messias for less than €5m

Torino are very interested in signing Junior Messias this summer and AC Milan are more than willing to let him go. The negotiations could soon enter an advanced stage, as Ivan Juric has given the go-ahead for the transfer. 

Juric is the manager of Torino and he has tried to bring in the Brazilian winger before, more specifically prior to his move to Milan. It will thus be up to the management of Il Toro to reach an agreement with the Rossoneri.

As reported by today’s edition of Tuttosport (see below), between the amortisation and his age, Messias has a price tag of €3-4m. Milan have already brought in Christian Pulisic and are also working on another right-winger, meaning they likely will accept such an offer.

Messias scored six goals and got two assists for Milan this past season but it was also clear that he’s not good enough for the Rossoneri. Stefano Pioli wants consistent performers and the Brazilian is not when the going gets tough.
