AC Milan would like to reposition themselves in the goalkeeper position for the coming season: Marco Sportiello is to come from Atalanta Bergamo in the summer.

As reported by transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Rossoneri are working on a signing of Marco Sportiello, whose contract with Atalanta expires at the end of the season. The 30-year-old is number two behind Juan Musso in the Bergamaschi - a similar role would also blossom for him with the Italian champions, where there is no getting past Mike Maignen.

Milan's plan to add Sportiello is no coincidence, because behind Maignan, Ciprian Tatarusanu and Antonio Mirante have two oldies available who have passed their prime and no longer have what it takes to be first deputy at a top club like to be AC ​​Milan. In the past week, when Maignan had to sit out due to a calf injury, Tatarusanu was only able to convince to a limited extent - in addition to some good deeds, the Romanian made numerous uncertainties that clearly showed the need for a new number two.

According to Di Marzio, although several clubs are interested in Sportiello, Milan are the favorites to sign him. In the coming days there will be more detailed meetings between the two parties, it is said.
