Felipe Mattioni is a 20-year-old right-back who has been linked with a
move to Italy for the large part of the season. He is tipped to become
the next Maicon due to his pace, strength and skill, as well as his
defending and attacking prowess.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan have reached an agreement
with Gremio for the player, which will see him remain in Milan for the
next four seasons.
The player himself stands 177 cm tall and weighs 72 kg, and can play in
the midfield as well as at the back. He has made 19 appearances for
Gremio this season, and after it was announced that he has officially
signed for Milan, his agent confirmed the following:
"Felipe is already in Italy and tomorrow he will undertake a medical in
Milan. He has signed a contract for four and a half years and he can
commence playing immediately", as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The signing of the defender will cost Milan around 6 million euro, and he
will be a great addition to their defensive ranks, as that is an area in
which creativity and pace is lacking.
A Milan official has commented on the signing of the player, by
declaring that "Mattioni is a world class player, and he is certainly
ready for the big stage that European football is".
Mattioni had been strongly linked to Juventus and Inter over time,
however Milan are the victors in the race for this up and coming star of
the future.
