Vitiello: Agent commission provides clue as Milan could sign Real Madrid youngster

AC Milan could make a move for the youngster Victor Valdepeñas, who shares the same agent as Mario Gila, and an important clue has already been provided here. 

After overtaking Napoli and Atalanta in the race, especially the former, Milan are on the verge of securing the services of Gila. Talks with Lazio will begin tomorrow and there is optimism that an agreement can be reached quickly.

However, as many have pointed out, Milan might need at least one more signing for the defence to feel comfortable for next season. Fikayo Tomori has also been singled out as a likely exit, so then they would definitely need at least one.

Gila and Valdepeñas?

According to Antonio Vitiello, talking about the situation in his latest YouTube video, the Gila negotiations have provided an important clue. Indeed, in addition to a hefty contract worth around €5m per year, Milan have also agreed to a €5m agent commission.

Gila isn’t the only client of that agent either. The Real Madrid youngster Valdepeñas, who is 19 years old, has been on the Rossoneri’s radar for quite some time and it’s possible that the commission could be linked to his arrival too.

Another interesting detail, as Vitiello continues, is that Milan’s former sporting director Igli Tare wanted to sign both. He reached an agreement for Gila in the spring and Valdepeñas was also part of his plan, so perhaps history could repeat itself here.

      1. That’s right but we need a left-footed center-back to be vice-Pavlovic. Let Bartesaghi be utilised only on the flank pro futuro.

          1. We’ll see whether RA has a different way of thinking but the main reason for a change would be that left foot, really.

        1. What hate, people? We can send him on a loan and that’s not a disaster at all, e.g. Billy Costacurta was also loaned at first, he was sent to Monza in his debut season when he was 20 years old just like Odogu is right now.

  1. Sell Tomori, De Winter and Pavlovic.
    Buy Gila, Inacio, Scalvini and this kid.
    Start with Inacio – Gila – Scalvini and have Valdapenas as backup for Inacio and Gabbia as backup for Gila and Odogu as backup for Scalvini.

    1. First of all I don’t understand why you want Pavlovic the beast sold. He made several important goals, and good with the head, still kinda young meaning with even more potential. At least he will get more experienced and hence better. Maybe he will be used as a left wingback.. idk. He is offensive and we need that.

      Regarding De Winter he is even younger.. knows serie a, I mean let’s sell tomori instead in my opinion. Even he is good if rather sacrifice him for Gila and let a new cb arrive (like veldapenas example).

      1. I will be honest, I did not like Pavlovic at first, thought he was too slow both with his feet and brains, but he has so far surprised me. Maybe with more depth added he may struggle to be a starter but I would not sell him as he has shown character and growth

    2. Sell Tomori Gabbia
      Sign Gila Valdepenas keep odogu Oosterwolde
      Start Pavlovic De Winter Gila
      Subs are Oosterwolde Valdepenas Odogu

  2. If this player comes to us, I hope this is not a deal in Real Madrid style with buy back clause or other kind of clause…
    Full definitiv transfer whiteout any kind of clause or not a deal. I don’t want Milan to be a club who grows players for Real Madrid , this is humiliated. Have a spine and pride , we are Milan , God damn it…
