AC Milan could make a move for the youngster Victor Valdepeñas, who shares the same agent as Mario Gila, and an important clue has already been provided here.
After overtaking Napoli and Atalanta in the race, especially the former, Milan are on the verge of securing the services of Gila. Talks with Lazio will begin tomorrow and there is optimism that an agreement can be reached quickly.

However, as many have pointed out, Milan might need at least one more signing for the defence to feel comfortable for next season. Fikayo Tomori has also been singled out as a likely exit, so then they would definitely need at least one.
Gila and Valdepeñas?
According to Antonio Vitiello, talking about the situation in his latest YouTube video, the Gila negotiations have provided an important clue. Indeed, in addition to a hefty contract worth around €5m per year, Milan have also agreed to a €5m agent commission.
Gila isn’t the only client of that agent either. The Real Madrid youngster Valdepeñas, who is 19 years old, has been on the Rossoneri’s radar for quite some time and it’s possible that the commission could be linked to his arrival too.
Another interesting detail, as Vitiello continues, is that Milan’s former sporting director Igli Tare wanted to sign both. He reached an agreement for Gila in the spring and Valdepeñas was also part of his plan, so perhaps history could repeat itself here.
