As a club with a long history and prestige in world football, AC Milan's excellent scouting system has always been one of its proud strengths. This advantage is not only reflected in the strategic planning of RedBird Capital after it becomes the owner, but also runs through all aspects of the club's daily operations. Around the world, AC Milan's scouting team works tirelessly to travel to the continents to keep an eye on young international stars with potential and inject fresh blood into the team's future development.
Geoffrey Moncada, a key member of AC Milan, has already made a name for himself at Monaco with his keen eye and talent, and now he has won widespread acclaim in Milanello. Under the leadership of Gerry Cardinale, the leader of RedBird Capital, Moncada's responsibility and mission are even greater, and he is actively preparing for the 2024 summer transfer window, aiming to bring in more potential new stars who can improve the team and bring capital returns in the future.
Recently, Moncada has set his sights on a sparkling jewel in South America – Aaron Anselmino, born in 2005. The centre-back from Argentine giants Boca Juniors has attracted a lot of attention with his outstanding physicality and precise foot skills, and is regarded as one of the most promising defensive cores of Argentina's new generation. Although his contract currently includes a €20 million release clause (according to Ansa), AC Milan are not deterred.
In order to successfully sign the high-profile youngster, the Milan management plans to reduce the transfer fee through in-depth communication with Ancelmino's agent and Boca Juniors. At the same time, they want to avoid fierce pursuit by rivals such as the Premier League and strive to finalize the deal sooner rather than later. AC Milan are counting on Anselmino's options and expect him to integrate quickly into the team and show a brighter performance than his Argentine compatriot Marco Pellegrino. The latter, who moved to Serie A from Platense last summer, has not performed as well as expected, either with Milan or on loan at Salernitana. Therefore, for a rising star like Anselmino, AC Milan are determined to include him in a more precise and powerful way, and together they will continue to write a brilliant chapter for the Rossoneri.
