The Hungarian left outside who has just moved from Bournemouth to Liverpool four years ago was a Rossoneri card and played in the spring. The devil yields him to AZ for 2 million

June 24 – 21:04 – MILAN

Of course, in the hindsight of the later everyone is good. The championships would win, you would swim among the capital gains and maybe the potential talents would be close. From this last aspect it is easy to imagine that in this period at home Milan wanders among the corridors a discreet regret in observing the bright parable of Milos Kerkez, a left back that the Liverpool champion of England has just bought from Bournemouth for about 47 million euros. A figure, in itself, not even so crazy considering that we are talking about the richest tournament in the world, but still among the highest for its role. The fact is that the Hungarian exterior passed by Milanello. Exactly, it was a Rossoneri card between January 2021 and January 2022.

ambitions

The Devil, with admirable foresight, had taken him from the Eoto Gyor, Hungarian B series, for about 200 thousand euros. Milos was 17 years old, he already promised great things and was included in the Rossoneri spring, between the championship and the Youth League. The first six months – that is January -June 2021 – were obviously of the accommodation, but it was in the subsequent semester that things did not go as imagined.

Kerkez had imagined much more in his adventure in Milanello. He said things like “When Maldini called me, choosing to move to Milan was very easy” and “Theo is the best in that role, it’s my favorite. I learned everything I could”. Then, however, the increasingly stronger awareness of not being able to provide real competition for French, has oriented his choices. Milan would have kept him, but in the face of the request for no uncertain terms to be sold in order to grow, Maldini and Massara have satisfied him. Destination: Holland, Az Alkmaar. Price: 2 million, with percentage in the resale and the right to equalize future offers for the Az for the boy. In other words, there would still have been an opportunity to keep it with it but the devil, with needs in other departments and limited overall budget, only collected the percentage avoiding putting the over 15 million offered on the plate following the Az by Bournemouth. Of course, 15 million to buy the Hernandez reserve could seem objectively too many, but with the hindsight of the later …
