AC Milan are plotting a move for Monza midfielder Andrea Colpani as they attempt to ensure registration rules do not become a problem next season, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, Milan are aware that they could struggle to fulfil the homegrown section of the squad registration for Serie A next season.
Right now, Mattia Caldara is the key player in this regard and registration was the main reason behind him staying at the club in the summer.
With him out of contract in June 2024 and Alessandro Florenzi also set to leave the club unless a new deal is agreed, Milan could do with signing players trained in Italian youth systems.
One of the best examples currently within Serie A is Monza’s Colpani, who has enjoyed a superb start to the season. Colpani has four goals from the first eight games and he has been scoring goals of a very high quality.
Excellent player, but he is a trequartista…and unless the formation changes…
Good player, Colpani.
I’ve kept a close eye on Casadei at Leicester, too.
From the perspective of development, the Championship is probably the equal of France or even Spain because it is so physical and such a frantic pace.
He is very solid and his technique is standing up to the pressure. I reckon he could be a special 4/6 given his technique, size and physicality. He certainly also works in box to box and more attacking roles.
Casadei would be great. Unfortunately I don’t see Chelsea selling him for less than €40mn and they might even integrate him into Pochettinos 1st XI next season.
Scalvini at CB would be incredible too but he’ll probably end up in the PL next year too.
It doesn’t necessarily Mena he’ll go to the EPL, I’ve heard the lad wants to stay in Serie A. But the problem would be the huge asking price by Atalanta, as they got used on selling their players for big. prices. Maybe we could get something from them thanks to Dr Katelare deal we made, something like a friendly leverage. Maybe.
However, I truly like this fellow and if he continues to develop in this way, it’ll be great to have him, although our midfield appears to be complete by now, we still. need Italian player in it.
And Casadei, besides being way more expensive, he’s Inter boy, and it’s a question whether he’ll like to come, especially if Leicester decides to buy him out!
If chelsea failed to play in CL next season , go buy casadei, he is good at 433 , have good shooting accuracy . We can deploy him as RLC replacement
Colombo plus some cash should get the job done.
Very creative player.He can play as a mezzala, a #10 or a right winger.
Columbo is going to be great. Not worth it
Casadei, Scalvini, Colpani, Carnesecchi/Turati. Hell if he wanted to, just buy Pessina back.
But if we really integrate Colombo to the team next season and keep current players, we can have 8 local players…
Calabria
Pobega
Colombo
Bartesaghi
Gabbia
Florenzi
Sportiello
Mirante/other new backup Italian GK
Florenzi’s contract is up at the end of the season
That’s why I said keep current players… mean if we renew the contract. Which we should if he agree to lower his salary.
Otherwise we need to get other Italian homegrown.
Colpani would be a fantastic pick up. I’m just not sure how he would fit into our lineup. Vice Reijnders?
No need to buy Italian players with high fees unless will be a starter if we’re gonna sign a bench player go for free signings or older cheaper signings like florenzi
Very well said
So who is the midfielder he is going to replace? Caldara and Florenzi are defender, not modfielder.
Krunic maybe or adili. Caldara no effect , but ACM still need one more RB if florenzi out
Even if one of Adli or Kunic is out, we still don’t need another midfielder when Bennacer return from injury. New RB/CB make more sense but only if Kjaer is out.
If we’re honest, the real midfielder in Monza that we need and would fit in is Pessina
