According to Sports.

Why this matters

AC Milan's interest in Matías Soulé reflects the team's search for a left-footed winger who fits their style of play. Roma, in turn, are willing to negotiate the player, which could open up opportunities for Milan to strengthen their squad next season. Rafael Leão's eventual departure could also influence the Rossoneri club's decision, making Soulé a viable option.

Milan remains attentive to Matías Soulé, an Argentine winger from 2003 currently linked to Roma, in a market movement that gains momentum as the Giallorossi admit a sale through the right proposal. According to information released by the Italian press, namely Gazzetta dello Sport, the club from the Italian capital does not consider Soulé non-negotiable and seeks to achieve significant added value with the player.

Roma's internal assessment points to a price of around 40 million euros, a value that is above the accounting amount (around 15.5 M€) and which would allow the Roman emblem to achieve a capital gain of more than 20 M€. The context in the squad also pushes the dossier: Castro's arrival at Trigoria and Dybala's recent renewal reduce Soulé's competitive space, who is looking for a project where he can have minutes and continuity after his time at Frosinone.

On the Rossoneri side, the profile fits what Milan are looking for next season: a left-footed winger, comfortable in short spaces, capable of starting from the right and coming to interior areas. Rúben Amorim, Milan coach, appreciates the Argentine's characteristics and sees him as a player capable of playing behind the central striker in his 3-4-2-1, offering unpredictability between the lines and threat in the last pass and in mid-range.

Still, in Milan they look at Soulé as an opportunity… but not at any price. Milan does not intend to reach the requested €40 million and will study solutions below that level. In addition to negotiations with Roma, there is internal management to be done: the Rossoneri evaluate potential solutions in attack before moving forward in force with new arrivals. Among the scenarios is the possibility of a transfer for Rafael Leão, a name that has a market in Turkey, although, so far, no offers have appeared in the range of 50 to 60 million euros mentioned by the press.

Meanwhile, alternatives are monitored, but Soulé remains well positioned on Milan's shortlist, as he combines age, room for evolution and a technical-tactical profile aligned with Amorim's ideas. The transfer window is still long and the outcome may depend on the balance between Roma's financial needs and Milan's room for maneuver to invest in the attack, without neglecting potential sales that facilitate the execution of the deal.

For now, the dossier remains under observation: Roma are open to negotiating, Milan maintains interest and Matías Soulé is looking at the market in search of the right context to take the next step in Serie A.

What happens next

The decision of prosecutor Maurizio Ascione, who is about to be transferred to the European Public Prosecutor's Office, will be crucial for the future of the case. If he decides not to close the case, the investigation can go to the sports court, where possible infractions will be evaluated. Furthermore, the segment related to the 'bussate' to Lissone's VAR room will be forwarded to the Monza Prosecutor's Office, indicating that the situation is still far from being resolved.
