Moretto provides update on Milan’s Endrick and Tresoldi pursuits: “Really likes him”
It could be a big month for Milan if things go their way in January. They hope to add a central defender to their squad – and have hoped to do so since before the end of the summer mercato – but the headline signing may be an attacking option, with quite a few names in the mix.
The favourites are clear, though: Endrick and Nicolo Tresoldi.
Moretto’s attacker update
Speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Matteo Moretto provided an update on the Rossoneri’s pursuit for both forwards and whether either was progressing, as MilanNews relayed.
“Although Mourinho continues to say that Endrick will stay at Real Madrid, the truth is that the player has the ball right now. If the player decides to tell Real Madrid that he wants to try a new experience to grow and play, Real Madrid will not object. And I can tell you that these are precisely the indications.
“To date, there have been no official communications between the parties, but I can confirm that Endrick, as he also stated in a recent interview, is open to a new loan experience, Lyon-style, which could give him that extra focus and playing time, also with a view to the national team.
“Endrick wants to play.”
And Tresoldi?
“A few days ago, I told you how Milan were really close to signing Tresoldi a few years ago, so much so that the player arrived, visited Milanello, and stayed at Casa Milan; the contracts were even ready.
“I want to clarify that, since he was a very young player at the time, it wasn’t a deal directly supervised by Paolo Maldini. There were other people managing the deal. Ricky Massara was also Milan’s transfer manager at the time, and there were others as well.
“The deal never actually got signed because Milan stalled, and the player returned to Germany, effectively signing a new contract with Hannover. Beyond that, there’s a lot of talk about Tresoldi now in terms of Milan’s present and future.
“I want to clarify a few points, however. I can confirm that it’s true that Cardinale really likes him, and Milan really likes him. The club is evaluating what steps to take to make this kind of move…”
It’s clear that the Diavolo are keen to add some attacking firepower to their ranks in January, understandably. However, it must be the right fit and there are certainly a few questions about Tresoldi now, with the price only rising.
