Milan plan January swoop for “Pirlo’s successor”

AC MILAN will try for Andrea Poli.

Sampdoria director Sergio Gasparin revealed that “Poli is of interest to both Milan clubs.” The midfielder is considered as one of the best Italian talents in recent years and Milan will try to sign him.

Samp aren’t in the Champions League, and despite they have no willingness to sell the youngster, they might have to, as the player wants to play in a European stage.

The player was fielded regularly by former Sampdoria coach Luigi Delneri and showed great things. Due to his skills, he has been identified as Andrea Pirlo’s successor.

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has picked Poli as the best U-21 midfielder at the moment, and they are expected to make an offer for the 20-year-old in the winter transfer window. Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea are interested too.
