He has discovered the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu and Ademola Lookman in the past and during his time at Atalanta, he also played a role in Rasmus Hojlund’s major sale to Manchester United. He has excellent relations with multiple English clubs as well.

As a result, he is the profile that Milan are looking at, even though there are a range of alternatives. Congerton, if he joins, will have to take some major decisions at the Rossoneri, who have several contract scenarios that can impact them a lot next season.
