Moretto: Milan Futuro closing in on new defender - negotiations 'advanced' for Genk talent
"Whilst AC Milan need first team defenders, it seems that the Futuro side are going to be making the first move in the mercato. This January, a lot of talk has regarded the hunt for a senior defender, someone who is ready to join Milan and help out the first team squad. New names are popping up regularly, but it seems the pursuit may go until later in the month."
"For the Futuro side, though, it seems they will not have to wait much longer for a new defensive addition. Calciomercato.com relay information from Matteo Moretto, and the esteemed transfer journalist has stated that talks are advanced for young Belgian defender, Juwensley Onstein. Born in 2007, the starlet is currently playing for Jong Genk, and if he were to move to Italy, the transition would imaginably not be too great, considering he would immediately become part of the Rossoneri's young project in Serie D."
"A name for the future, certainly, it is not the first movement that the Diavolo have made for a young defender in recent months, with David Odogu also spending considerable time with the Futuro team. So, it is clear that the management are keen to invest in the future defenders of the club, whilst their prices are low."
AC Milan need first-team defenders while the Futuro youth side will make the first move in the January mercato. The club continues a search for a senior defender to strengthen the first team, with negotiations expected to stretch later into the month. The Futuro team is close to signing Belgian 2007-born defender Juwensley Onstein from Jong Genk, with talks described as advanced. Onstein would join Rossoneri's Serie D project and would face an easy transition from Genk. AC Milan management are investing in young defenders, exemplified by recent movement for David Odogu, while market prices remain low.
