Only 19 y.o, one of the most promising players from primavera in recent years, so at least loan him out to another Serie A team or even abroad to see how he develops. So fucking stupid and we are gonna regret it imo.
We very well might regret it, except each player has a valuation and if that is met then the player is sold. Or otherwise, if he is actually very very good and there is no room in the team - share his costs to a third party via a loan.
In any case, we honestly can't hold onto every youth player that graduates is where I'm coming from. There are honestly a thousand and one reasons if we were to sit and argue at every corner of the matter; except we are guessing. Think in simple terms the coach did not want the player and there was a club out there willing to pay above the kids valuation, and that was it.
We will have more kids coming through Inshallah, and if all goes well then they break into the first team otherwise having Milan youth grade players plying their trade in Europe's top leagues, kinda like Ajax's youth academy (without drawing too much comparisons through details, as ours is still in its infancy).
