AC Milan are expected to work hard to convince the player to sign a new deal and continue in Italy but Manchester City are confident of poaching him away from their grasp at the end of the season.

The 16-year-old midfielder is expected to make a decision soon and it remains to be seen whether he agrees to leave Italy at such an early stage in his career and move to England.

He represented Italy’s Under-15 and Under-16 team, before recently breaking into their Under-17 line-up.
