Milan ask Fiorentina for Sottil on loan with 10m option | OneFootball

Multiple sources in Italy claim that Milan are close to securing Riccardo Sottil from Fiorentina on loan with an option to buy for €10m.

It comes on a very busy deadline day for the Rossoneri, who also reportedly secured Joao Felix on a dry loan from Chelsea for €5.5m plus payment of his salary.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia, Calciomercato.it and more, the deal is practically done for Milan to sign Sottil.

The winger would arrive on loan for five months with an option to buy at the end of the season set at €10m.

The 25-year-old is the son of former Udinese coach Andrea Sottil and spent time in the youth academies of Genoa, Torino and Fiorentina before going on loan to Pescara and Cagliari.

So far this season, he scored five goals and provided three assists in 25 competitive appearances for Fiorentina.

His versatility has drawn Milan interest, as he can play on the left or right wing, as well as in a support striker or trequartista role.

If he does leave Fiorentina, then the Tuscans are looking towards Dany Mota Carvalho of Monza.
