However, then Zlatan Ibrahimovic came along and managed to change his mind, fast forward to Milan announcing the signing on Friday. As stated by BILD this morning, cited by PianetaMilan, Diego Simeone is a huge admirer of Niclas Fullkrug and could prompt Atleti to pay a whopping €30m for his services.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Francesco Camarda scored two goals playing three years up, not exactly usual for a 16-year-old. Kevin Zeroli scored again, and Vittorio Magni came on in the second half to assist Camarda’s second. Davide Bartesaghi played at left-back and he impressed with his mix of technique and physicality.

There is a generation of Milan talents that, rather than knocking on the doors of high-level football,…
