Milan might need to sign a new backup goalie and have shortlisted Simone Scuffet, who’s open to the move and leaving Cagliari. Marco Sportiello seriously hurt his left hand in a domestic accident during their trip to the United States and could be sidelined long-term, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.
The goalie is undergoing further tests and evaluations, but there’s pessimism. It’s the second major injury for the Rossoneri already. Alessandro Florenzi tore his right ACL and might miss the entire season, which accelerated the discussions to add Emerson Royal.
Milan quickly reached out to Cagliari to inquire about Scuffet and found fertile ground. The veteran returned to Italy last year and supplanted previous starter Boris Radunovic pretty quickly. He allowed 55 goals and kept 3 clean sheets in 31 appearances. He played for Kasimpasa, Spezia, APOEL, and Cluj in previous campaigns.
The Rossoneri no longer have former third-stringer Antonio Mirante under contract. They’ll lean on the youngsters, such as Lorenzo Torriani, Lapo Nava, and Noah Raveyre until they find a solution. They sent Devis Vasquez to Empoli about two weeks ago following a decent loan spell at Ascoli.
Milan will eventually accelerate their efforts to sign Simone Scuffet once they know more about Sportiello’s injury. Cagliari are setting the stage to pursue Marco Silvestri as a replacement, as he wants to flee Udinese after losing the starting job to Maduka Okoye last season. There’s already an agreement in principle on a €1.5M fee between the two teams.
