AC Milan-erica! Christian Pulisic & Yunus Musah could be joined at San Siro by USMNT team-mate as Johnny Cardoso registers on transfer radar

The 22-year-old midfielder, who was born in New Jersey to Brazilian parents and moved to South America at three months of age, is currently on the books of La Liga side Real Betis. He has been catching the eye there, leading to regular rounds of exit talk.

Barcelona are one of the clubs to have been credited with interest, with Premier League sides also said to be monitoring Cardoso’s situation. Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Milan are now in that mix after finding it difficult to prise Youssouf Fofana away from Monaco.

Cardoso holds added appeal to the Rossoneri as he boasts an Italian passport, making registration easier. It could be that he is offered an opportunity to join fellow countrymen Pulisic and Musah in Milan – with efforts being made there to boost growing appeal in the United States.

Milan are also said to be keeping an eye on Sofyan Amrabat. The Morocco international spent time on loan at Manchester United last season, with the Premier League heavyweights reluctant to meet the price demanded by Fiorentina in order to make that move permanent.
