Sobis warns Rossoneri
Rafael Sobis has still not struck a deal with Milan and his agent warns that further delay could see him poached by a Spanish side.
The 21-year-old Internacional Porto Alegre striker has been pinpointed as the replacement for Andriy Shevchenko and confirmed his enthusiasm for this proposed switch.
“I haven’t got an agreement with Milan yet, so everything will be decided next week. I have other offers too and must evaluate them all with due calm.â€
Sobis hit the headlines when he scored a decisive brace in the Copa Libertadores Final against San Paolo, but the Serie A giants aren’t the only side interested in him.
“Valencia are also in the running and, if Milan don’t get a move on, Rafael could end up in Spain,†warned agent Machado in the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’.
However, the matter isn’t quite as urgent as the representative is suggesting, as it’s likely the striker won’t leave South America until the New Year.
“One of the points up for discussion is the Club World Cup, as we don’t know if I’ll leave Internacional now or in December,†added Sobis. “Alternatively, I could not come to Europe at all. Whatever happens, I’ll be happy.â€
The Club World Cup has replaced the Intercontinental Cup with the winners of the six major continental competitions facing off in Japan.
