Mattia Liberali turned heads during the summer at Milan. However, he hasn’t had any room with the first team during the regular season, and he has struggled to find his footing with the Futuro squad in Serie C too.
According to Calciomercato, the Rossoneri are mulling the future of the starlet, whose contract runs out in 2026. It’s not so certain it’ll be with them, as he would like to be given a real shot. Atalanta and Fiorentina have shown interest and would be ready to pounce if he became available.
Milan will have to make the call about Liberali next summer given the expiration date of his deal. The extension talks haven’t gone far due to his challenging season. He was named among the 60 most promising youngsters in the world by The Guardian.
The 17-year-old hasn’t received consistent minutes in the Daniele Bonera-led team. He last appeared on October 30th and hasn’t been called up in the past month. He’s been sent back to the Primavera side, where he’s starring domestically and in the Youth League. The youngster has scored once in each competition. He also hit the net in his first match in the Coppa Italia Serie C but didn’t produce in seven appearances in the third division. Paulo Fonseca selected him twice without fielding him.
His contract is more of a factor than his displays, as he’s super young and has all the time in the world to improve. Still, it’d be quite ludicrous if he didn’t resume playing regularly with the Futuro team.
