Milan Deny Signing Nine-Year-Old

Milan have released a statement in which they categorically deny signing nine-year-old wonderkid Edgardo Obregon.

Edgardo Obregon, Milan
It was widely reported yesterday that the Italian club had already snapped up the nine-year-old Obregon.

The Mexican has already played for Chivas de Guardalajara and Barcelona, and impressed the Rossoneri recently during trials at Milanello and Il Diavolo.

Obregon has already been compared to the likes of Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero, but Milan have come out and rubbished the reports that they have signed the minor.

“We would like to deny categorically that we have ever agreed the signature of Obregon,” a statement on the club's official website reads.

The outstanding talent of this young attacking midfielder can be shown in a video on Youtube posted below.
