'De Paul will end up at Milan'

By Football Italia staff

As it is reported Milan plan to step up their pursuit of Rodrigo de Paul, Luciano Moggi expects the Udinese forward to become Rossonero.

Milan were briefly linked with De Paul over the summer but were in constant contact with his agent Agustin Jimenez, who also represents Angel Correa.

According to Calciomercato.com, the Diavolo are not giving up on the Argentina international, although any move may have to wait until next year.

That is because the 25-year-old recently signed a new contract with Udinese, taking him through to 2024 and in turn giving the Zebrette leverage.

Despite his apparent €30m valuation, Milan would have remained in touch with Jimenez.

Meanwhile, Moggi - the former Juventus general manager - told 7Gold: “De Paul’s coming.

“He needed to come at the start of the season but, for a thousand reasons, the deal didn’t go through.

“Now they’re in the midst of restoration and he’ll almost certainly go to Milan. He’s the player the Rossoneri need.”

De Paul has assisted two goals in six Serie A appearances so far this season.
