Rossoneri Round Up for Apr 24: AC Milan’s Pursuit For Everton Soares Could End Due To The Coronavirus

MilanNews.it interviewed the agent of Gremio winger Everton Soares who talked about the previous approaches AC Milan made for his client. “In the summer of 2019, Milan made an offer to Gremio but they rejected it. Last November, I was in Milan and I had a quick chat with Maldini and other club representatives.’’

“However, they told me that they wouldn’t make an offer during January, while the interest could return if Everton is still for sale in the summer. But with the Coronavirus, we don’t know what will happen.” The situation will likely be revisited in the summer but the solid displays by Ante Rebic could make the move for Everton redundant.
