Meanwhile, the Rossoblu are evaluating the prospect of signing Messias to succeed Nicolas Dominguez and/or Riccardo Orsolini, with the former being linked with a move to Milan.
With just one year remaining on his Milan contract, the Rossoneri management want to see the departure of Messias earn them some money, instead of seeing him leave on a Bosman transfer at the end of next season. An unexpected signing at first, the ex-Crotone winger excelled better than expected at San Siro, registering 12 goals in 68 appearances for the club. Messias also played his part in Stefano Pioli’s 2021/22 Scudetto-winning squad.
Torino and Bologna are also in the race to sign Hellas Verona wingback Josh Doig.
