The Nerazzurri are looking to continue acquiring young players for the future, and they believe Musah could form a strong foundation in a midfield that includes another promising prospect in 20-year-old Kristjan Asllani.
Musah was a standout performer for the USA at the World Cup, where he started in all four matches for manager Gregg Berhalter’s side, and it looks as though that has seen suitors begin to emerge for his signature. The 20-year-old, who grew up in England and was part of Arsenal‘s academy, has also attracted interest from Premier League sides.
He has made 11 appearances in LaLiga for Los Che this season.
