Italian media are reporting that AC Milan are very keen on Leeds United’s Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra.

Sempremilan.com has released an article that says ‘AC Milan’s scouting department are big admirers of Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra and could pursue a move, according to Carlo Pellegatti.’

Leeds United have tied Sinisterra down to a five-year deal and as he is only in the first year of that deal, it would take a huge bid to even prick up the ears of the Leeds hierarchy. The Colombian was seen as a replacement for Raphinha who left in the summer to join Barcelona, and it would be highly unlikely the Yorkshire club would even entertain any bids for their new man.

The 23-year-old joined from Feyenoord in a deal that was believed to be around £21m and it would be reasonable to state that Leeds would be easily able to demand triple that amount for the tricky winger.

His displays for Leeds and Colombia will have caught the attention of Milan and the well-known Milan journalist Carlo Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel and provided a glowing report for Luis Sinisterra.

“My big dream is only one, Luis Sinisterra. At Feyenoord, he played on the left, but at Colombia and Leeds he starts from the right, he reminds me to death of Leao, even if he is less overbearing and devastating in the race, but he has great class and confidence, he reminds me of Rafa [Leao].”

“Having one on the right and the other on the left, with De Ketelaere as an attacking midfielder, would drive me crazy, Moncada followed him, and Milan likes him, he has a market value of 25-35 million, therefore in the range of the club.”

What do fans think, would you accept a huge offer for Sinisterra? Let us know in the comments.
