Real Betis Lead the Hunt for AC Milan Winger Samu Castillejo

DBasia.news – Real Betis are reportedly in pole position in the hunt for Samu Castillejo, who is expected to leave AC Milan this summer.

Castillejo looks set to truly leave the Rossoneri this summer and return to Spain, with a number of clubs showing their interest and ready to take serious steps to hijack him.

The 26-year-old right winger made 28 appearances for Milan last season and was only able to provide one goal and one assist. Of course the record was not fertile enough to become a mainstay of the club and that’s why Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara began exploring the market.

Meanwhile, as stated by Tuttosport, Real Betis is a club that is in a leading position in the hunt for the Spaniard. They managed to finish sixth in La Liga last season and will play in the Europa League next season. In addition, they also need the presence of a new right winger to strengthen their squad.

Castillejo himself chose to be open about the transfer, but an agreement also needs to be reached between the two clubs.

Milan are known to want around 10 million euros from the sale of the player, but it is also possible that they will release him on loan with a choice or purchase obligation.

The funds will then be used to strengthen other areas in the Serie A giants squad or bring in a new right winger who is more fertile and sharp.
