Giorgio Chiellini has cast doubt over the potential transfer of Memphis Depay to AC Milan, suggesting that the Dutch forward might not be the right fit for the Serie A club.
In an interview with Sky Sport, the former Juventus defender expressed his concerns about Depay’s temperament and suitability for the Italian top flight.
“Pronto per arrivare in Serie A? Dipende.” Chiellini said. “Non penso sia facile da gestire. Sembra un rapper.”
Chiellini’s comments come amid growing speculation that AC Milan could be eyeing Depay as a new signing to bolster their attacking options.
The defender’s comparison of Depay to a rapper hints at the forward’s flamboyant personality, which Chiellini suggests could present challenges in the disciplined environment of Serie A.
With AC Milan supporters eagerly waiting for updates on the club’s transfer activities, Chiellini’s words could serve as a reality check regarding the potential move.
As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen whether AC Milan will proceed with their interest in Depay or look elsewhere for reinforcements.
