‘Don’t ask me why’ – Journalist reveals Milan made a January move for Brighton attacker

There have been questions about AC Milan’s mercato antics for a while now, and this week, another has arisen regarding the choice to pursue one player.

In January, Milan were rather quiet. It was not a shock; the budget was not there for excessive spending, and there was no point adding names for the sake of it. However, it could have been much different had various transfers worked out.

Now, we could be discussing Jean-Philippe Mateta and the arrival of Federico Gatti, or another linked defender. However, no action was really taken where the first team is involved. That list of potential options has today grown, though.

Guidi claims Milan made Enciso move

With the close of the mercato, any previously unheard of moves may start coming to light, and this is the case for the Rossoneri, who reportedly made a late move for Julio Enciso, as Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Marco Guidi told MilanVibes, via MilanNews.

“On the penultimate day of the transfer window, I can tell you for certain, AC Milan called Brighton about the loan of Enciso. Don’t ask me why; he’s a trequartista who’s hard to slot into Allegri’s plan. I don’t see him as a second striker.

“Perhaps the idea was to add a wildcard who could create a stir, but they made an attempt. I had a hard time believing it myself, but the person who told me was involved in the matter, so it must be true.”
