The two young people identified by the club do not have community passports. The club will have to decide whether to use the two slots for them or keep one for first team transfer needs
The history of the transfer market is sometimes made with geography. Milan, for example, has an issue on the table. What to do with Juan Arizala and Andrej Kostic, the two youngsters who M chose for the January transfer window? On paper, both can arrive shortly: the players like them, an offer to Independiente Medellin and Partizan has been made, a double deal would not be complicated. The figures: 3 million for Arizala, around 5 for Kostic. Geography doesn’t help though.
arizala and kostic: the question
—
Arizala has a Colombian passport, while Kostic is Montenegrin with a Serbian passport. They are non-EU citizens. Milan has the possibility of signing two non-EU players in the January transfer window but naturally they will think about it. The question is: does it make sense to use the two visas for two players who are not immediately useful to the first team? After all, Arizala was born in 2005, Kostic was born in 2007. And again: couldn’t it be useful to keep a place as a non-EU citizen for the end of the month, when it could be used for a more… mature purchase? A central defender, perhaps. Milan are thinking about it: they know that the two negotiations are advanced but they haven’t closed yet. After all, we are still in December.
