Moretto: Milan hold ‘strong interest’ in Real Madrid talent who would ‘accept’ exit

AC Milan are keeping an eye out on young talent around Europe, and Real Madrid’s Víctor Valdepeñas is on their radar.

Milan were heavily linked with moves for various central defenders in the winter window that has just closed, but in the end there was no signing. Mario Gila is expected to be a target for the summer, while other names have been mentioned such as Barcelona’s Gerard Martin.

A club that the Rossoneri are familiar doing business with is Real Madrid. Dating back to Kaka in the past, there have been much more recent examples such as Theo Hernandez, Brahim Diaz and Alex Jimenez. In fact, the latest idea to emerge has some strong similarities with the latter.

Valdepeñas: On Milan’s radar

Matteo Moretto spoke in a video on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel and he revealed a new name when it comes to transfer targets for Milan in view of the summer window.

“Born and raised in Real Madrid, he plays for Madrid Castilla but has already made his debut with the Real Madrid A team. We’re talking about Víctor Valdepeñas, a central defender, left-footed and occasionally full-back,” he said.

“He’s one of the most interesting and strong prospects in Spanish football, born in 2006. Moreover, he’s managed by the agents of Mario Gila, another defender associated with Milan.

“So, Milan are thinking about the young Valdepeñas, there’s strong interest, also because the boy would accept an experience away from Madrid. Keep an eye on this name because Milan are keeping a close eye on him…”
