Due to Ismael Bennacer’s injury, AC Milan may have to look to the Futuro squad for support, and this could mean Silvano Vos features for the senior team within his first month at the club.
The midfield was an area of interest throughout the window for Milan, and once they landed Youssouf Fofana, there were talks of another player coming through the door. Reportedly efforts were made for Manu Kone, and the Rossoneri held an interest in Samuele Ricci, but the player to arrive was Vos.
Originally, it seemed the deal could be done in the region of €10 million, but reports suggest that the Diavolo closed the deal for a figure less than half of what was initially imagined. Perhaps, the fee could already be a steal, with his debut impressing heavily.
After such a display, there were suggestions he could step into the senior team on occasion, but with Ismael Bennacer injured, his chance could come sooner than expected.
Milan News spoke to Federico Casotti, who followed the player last season, and he offered some thoughts on the role he could play.
“As a type of player, he is a midfielder who plays in front of the defence, a ball catcher who in the 4-2-3-1 can easily play in the two in front of the defence. He is a player who clearly needs to be evaluated with the tare of the type of experience he has had so far, which is mainly related to the Dutch Serie B, which in any case is a level not very different from the Italian C.
“He has already made some significant appearances, especially last year in the first team, and I think he can be a player who in the future Milan can have an impact even immediately and then gradually can be inserted over the season in the first team. However, certainly, the intermediate step of Milan Futuro is functional in not burning him out.”
Could Vos be the ‘new’ Kessié?
“I can’t express myself on this comparison also because in the context of the Dutch league, and the extremely negative one of Ajax last year, he is a player who has managed to emerge. He is a player of great combativeness, and who still has room to improve tactically and who can have margins for improvement in this respect, also tactically, remarkable, precisely because of his experience in his homeland.”
