Jan-Carlo Simic, Francesco Camarda and Davide Bartesaghi have had a taste of first team football for AC Milan, but who might be next from the Primavera to make the step up?
La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) believe that Alex Jimenez should be the next to get the call. Jimenez arrived from Real Madrid in the summer on an initial loan deal and is a right-footed full-back who is playing mainly on the left, because Bakoune is on the right.
Yesterday he was on the bench for the fourth game and for the first time he came really close to playing. Pioli had decided to send him on the pitch, then Noah Okafor got hurt and Samuel Chukwueze came into attack.
Clinton Nsiala-Makengo was on the bench for the first time in Newcastle and yesterday he was too. He is a physical central defender, he has a lot of room to grow but he is starting to frequent the first team dressing room.
It is a dressing room where Chaka Traore and Kevin Zeroli reside. The former is a quick and technical winger, while the latter is a dynamic all-action midfielder who is the captain of Ignazio Abate’s Primavera team.
Lapo Nava has been permanently with the first team, and his agents and the Milan manageent are heading towards an agreement for the signing of his pro contract. Then, the likes of Mattia Liberali (2007-born) and Christian Comotto (2008) are growing well with the Primavera and U18s respectively.
Milan don’t launch players. We just happened to field them when there’s absolutely zero choice but to
I wish this wasn’t true but it is.
These players.would never see the field in any match if Pioli had his way.
Maybe he’s leaning to chamge his beliefs?
Taking into account we had to literally be depleted to give traore and simic some minutes, I don’t have high hopes for them, not doubting their quality tho
With no balls coach they maybe get a chance in 2026!
I’m still waiting for us to launch Bartesaghi, wasn’t he supposed to be the backup to Theo?
All these names thrown in these articles are just a way to appease fans, and divert from the real problems that we have with injuries.
If they are good, loan them all in January to Serie B teams that can give them a starting position and play them every week, otherwise if they are not skilled enough to get even that, what contribution are they expected to give to the first team.
Colombo has played 3 full seasons as a starter but I’m not sure if I’d want him even as a backup right now. And here we are talking of adding Primavera players that have barely played even friendlies with the first team.
Don’t make any hopes, Milan will loan some rubbish 30 years old players to fill the gap instead of giving them minutes to play
Good to see some positivity on here for a change…
