Clubs from Spain and Germany have shown an interest in Milan striker Patrick Cutrone, according to his agent Donato Orgnoni.
The 21-year-old has netted nine times for the Rossoneri so far this campaign but has been afforded just eight starts in Serie A.
“Had he been foreign he’d have attracted much more interest, even if he remains one of the top Italian youngsters,” Orgnoni told MilanNews.it.
“We’ve had many shows of interest from foreign teams, with enquiries from Spain and one from Germany, but Patrick wants to keep doing well for Milan.
“We expect Cutrone to have the same chances in 2019 that he had last year. After that, it’ll be up to him to do well on the field with his performances, goals and, possibly, awards.
“There’s a lot of talk of new strikers, but we never talk about them. We know that the club must work to improve the team, but we’ve never been afraid, not even when Higuain arrived.
“He’s grown a lot working alongside Higuain. Pipita remains one of the best strikers in the world.
“His bad run aside, Gonzalo is a great player and Patrick is trying to steal as many things from him as possible.
“They work very well together. Patrick is aware of Pipita’s quality and wants to learn from him.”
