Milan are moving ahead in their efforts to sign Monaco talent Mamadou Coulibaly, who is also wanted by Manchester City and Tottenham.
The 17-year-old midfielder is one of the best prospects in French football currently and he’s been compared with Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga due to their similar qualities and potential. He is a physical and technical player, good with the ball at his feet. The teenager has fully convinced the Rossoneri, who are now seriously keen to acquire him.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Milan have intensified contacts with Coulibaly’s entourage in recent weeks and they’re confident that a deal can be pulled off. The teenager’s contract expires with Monaco at the end of this season, meaning that the Rossoneri would only need to pay a training premium for the talented youngster.

Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara presented their ambitious project to Coulibaly’s entourage and the Monaco prospect is fascinated, knowing that a number of French players in the squad would be available to help his transition in Italy. It’s also clear that the Rossoneri are willing to trust in young players often, something that interested parties like Manchester City and Tottenham cannot promise.
Coulibaly is taking his time because he’s still not decided whether he wants to leave Monaco yet or not and a final decision will only be made at the end of April, when he turns 18.
