Milan scout Cagliari's Romano at Italy debut

A 20-year-old signed for €6.5m in summer could already be worth five times that — and Milan want a front-row seat.

What happened. Milan have reportedly arranged accreditation for a scout to watch Alessandro Romano in Italy's Nations League meeting with Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico. The Cagliari midfielder, who joined from Roma in the summer, is widely expected to make his Italy debut in the match.

• Romano joined Cagliari from Roma on loan with a purchase option worth up to €6.5m.
• Inter, Juventus and several LaLiga clubs have also been linked with the 20-year-old.
• Cagliari are not expected to consider January offers, with a summer fee of around €25m mooted.

Cagliari are unlikely to sell in January, but his price could climb further by the end of the season.
