Monza starlet Andrea Colpani has earned himself a fair share of high-profile suitors in Serie A following an emphatic start to the new campaign. Closely monitored by Inter these past few months, the 24-year-old has also attracted interest from Milan and Roma.
However, Monza chief Adriano Galliani insists the Italian’s future lies at the Brianteo. Colpani has only recently committed his long-term future to the Lombard outfit, penning a five-year contract extension. And Raffaele Palladino’s men have no interest in selling their most prized asset.
“I have never spoken about Colpani with anyone, and we have extended his contract for five years. I swear to God there’s no reservation,” the Monza chief executive said, as quoted by Calciomercato.
Colpani has been one of the best-performing midfielders in Serie A this season. In ten league appearances for Monza, he has tallied four goals, averaging a strike every 180 minutes. His rise to prominence has not gone unnoticed, yet Galliani knows how to maximize his profits.
It appears Monza believe they can achieve a significant price for Colpani. They are gunning for the €27 million threshold, the exact figure Inter will pay Sassuolo to secure a permanent deal for Davide Frattesi at the end of his loan.
Despite making their Serie A debut only last season, Monza have gained a stellar reputation for turning talented youngsters into established top-tier performers. Colpani most certainly headlines the list as he’s knocking on the door of the Italy national team, as recently confirmed by the Azzurri gaffer Luciano Spalletti.
