Milan join Real Madrid in race for Granada’s Owen Emeka | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan have been alert to the possibility of signing exciting, undervalued talents from across Europe in recent years. The latest player to have caught their fancy is Granada talent Owen Emeka.

Today, La Gazzetta dello Sport offer details about the 17-year-old’s situation, reporting that during Milan’s 2-2 draw against Lazio, a Rossoneri scout flew to Spain to watch Granada take on Albacete.

They had initially planned to scouting Dylan Rodriguez but the talent stayed on the bench. But it gave them the chance to closely watch Emeka, who is a right-winger by trade and has one goal in the Spanish second division.

Milan are now ‘very interested’ in the teenager, who has also attracted attention from Real Madrid.

His only goal of the campaign in the game Milan scouting him at, which piqued the club’s interest. The Rossoneri have been pleasantly surprised and plan to keep monitoring the situation, with negotiations having taken place yet.

Milan’s idea, if they sign him, is to place him into their second team and develop him into someone who can be a future star, if they beat Real Madrid in a possible deal.
