Pillar of the AC Milan Youth League team, Clinton Nsiala (9 matches out of 9 played), scorer against PSG in the group stage, impressed with the U19 team of the Lombard club which lost in the final of the competition against Olympiacos. Performances which caught the eye of many European clubs attracted by the player’s profile, his free agent status and also his room for progression. Trained at FC Nantes, the former French U16 international was detected by AC Milan who quickly integrated him into their Primavera. Long considered a great hope for the Italian club, he was on the verge of the first team even if he had to be content to play the entire season with the Primavera (30 matches – 3 goals and 2 assists).
But at 20 years old and despite a contract extension offered by AC Milan, the native of Rennes decided to leave Lombardy at the end of his contract scheduled for June 30. Several clubs are in the running. According to our information, Monza, Empoli, Hamburg and Stuttgart have made some contacts with the entourage of the solid central defender (1m89 – 80 kg) but undoubtedly too late since the Glasgow Rangers, who supervised the player on numerous occasions, have clearly one step ahead of the file and are on the verge of completing the operation as a Scottish source told us. The left-hander is seduced by the sporting project proposed by the emblematic Glasgow club, namely a guarantee of playing time in order to continue his training at a very high level, the prospect of evolving in a major European club which plays for the title every season and who is in the running to play in the next Champions League. So many assets which clearly tilt the balance towards the Rangers.
