Journalist claims Milan have signed 26-year-old Uruguayan winger – the latest | OneFootball

The January window will soon officially open and AC Milan have made moves already, according to a report. Indeed, the Uruguayan winger Agustín Canobbio will join the club from the Brazilian team Athletico-PR.

The news arrives from the journalist Wilson Méndez, who has 112k followers on X, stating that Canobbio’s former team Peñarol will receive €450k from the transfer. Most likely, this is the result of a future resale clause that was added when the winger left Brazil in 2022.

The fee back then was €2.85m for Canobbio, according to Transfermarkt, and it remains to be seen how much Milan will pay for the transfer. Furthermore, as there have been no reports about this in Italy, it’s hard to tell if this is a signing for the Futuro (as an overage player) or the first team.

In the season that just ended, Canobbio managed to get nine goals and seven assists in 48 games. He has mainly played as a left-winger but he can also play on the opposite side, as well as an attacking midfielder. He appears to be a rather versatile player, in other words.

More news should arrive on the matter soon, at least if the initial reports are correct.
