"Indeed, according to AS, the Blaugrana are set to miss out on the potential signing of Santos left-back Joao Victor de Souza, as AC Milan have submitted an initial offer for the youngster. The Rossoneri's proposal is said to be valued at just under €10 million, including fixed amounts and bonuses. For now, Santos do not wish to discuss the departure of their young talent, but interest from other clubs continues to grow."
"Dubbed the 'new Marcelo' in Brazil, Souza has been on Barcelona's radar for some time now, with the club impressed by his potential and promise. However, Milan have closely followed the development of the left-back throughout the season. He is one of the preferred options on the list of targets drawn up by Geoffrey Moncada, sporting director of the Rossoneri."
"Santos, for their part, are firm in their stance. If negotiations take place, they will not accept less than €12 million. Souza has enjoyed a very strong season and was one of the key players in helping the team avoid relegation, particularly in the closing matches. In Brazil, he is already being viewed as the natural heir to Marcelo in the national team. Not without reason, Santos moved quickly to renew his contract until December 2028 just a few months ago."
AC Milan have submitted an initial offer just under €10 million, including fixed amounts and bonuses, for Santos left-back João Victor de Souza. Santos currently do not wish to discuss the player's departure and have set a minimum valuation of €12 million if negotiations occur. Souza enjoyed a strong season and was key to Santos avoiding relegation, prompting a contract renewal through December 2028. He is viewed in Brazil as a potential heir to Marcelo. Barcelona previously showed interest and were offered Souza as part of a deal linked to the Gabigol/Inter transfer, but several clubs have since moved ahead of Barcelona.
