Riccardo Montolivo’s agent claims the Milan outcast is a ‘much better’ fit in Italy’s midfield than Jorginho.
Montolivo is unlikely to stay at Milan beyond next summer, when his contract expires, while he is not thought to be in Gennaro Gattuso’s plans for the Rossoneri.
Nonetheless, Giovanni Branchini told Corriere dello Sport: “If you must play this Jorginho in the national team then I say that my Montolivo, who has scandalously been ousted, is much better.”

The 33-year-old has not played for Italy since a two-minute cameo against Israel in May 2017, whereas Jorginho looks set to form part of the new-look Azzurri.
