Joao Cancelo, AC Milan’s €70m dream
To make the penchant for Theo Hernandez on the wings, AC Milan dreams of offering Joao Cancelo.
Fully satisfied with the performance of Theo Hernandez (25) in the left lane, AC Milan would aim to find its right leaning for the coming season. And according to information from Sun, this player could be Joao Cancelo (28 years old). The Portuguese seem less untouchable than a few months ago and his name has already been associated with the Rossoneri this winter. Calcio Mercato mentioned in its columns the possibility of an XXL exchange next summer between the Manchester City side and his compatriot Rafael Leao (23).
According to the British press, the deal seems complicated to put in place, but AC Milan has not abandoned the Cancelo track. The latter knows Serie A well, having shone under the colors of Juventus Turin in the past, and his versatility is very popular with Stefano Pioli. But to afford a player of such caliber at the next transfer window, it will take a big sell-off from Manchester City or an XXL departure. Under contract with the Sky Blues until 2027, Cancelo is worth 70 million euros today.
