Key De Zerbi Player Signing Could Exit Brighton for Italy Return
Key De Zerbi signing ‘no longer immovable’ at Brighton – Italy return possible
Two months ago, we covered La Gazzetta dello Sport’s report about Milan’s interest in Brighton defender Igor Julio. That talk hasn’t quite gone away and it seems the player’s situation in England is currently far from settled and Milan remain interested.
Igor joined Brighton from Fiorentina last summer for a fee of €17m plus bonuses and arrived under the tutelage of Roberto De Zerbi, who is now in-charge of Marseille.
Only a season later, the Brazilian finds his situation uncertain. La Gazzetta dello Sport today report that the ex-Fiorentina man is ‘no longer immovable’ from the Amex.If Milan end up losing Malick Thiaw, they would sign another defender even if they land Salzburg’s Stahinja Pavlovic, and Igor is seen as an option, along with Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi.
Brighton’s valuation isn’t mentioned by the report but the information from the outlet two months ago suggested that Igor was only a ‘thought’ for Milan.
Now, he seems to have become more than just a ‘thought’.
