After his continued growth with both the Primavera and Italian youth team, AC Milan are preparing to offer Primavera star Kevin Zeroli a new deal until June 2028, a report has claimed. 

Several impressive youngsters are earning their plaudits among Milan’s Primavera set-up, and one of the future stars among the ranks is undoubtedly Zeroli. The 19-year-old midfielder has impressed consistently, including during the recent international break, and given he is the captain of the Primavera side, hopes are very high for the progress he could make in the next few years.

If there were any doubts about the level of hope the side had regarding the midfielder, then Stefano Pioli offering the youngster a chance from the bench in the Rossoneri’s final game of 2023 is a testament to how much belief the Diavolo have about his ability.

Arguments can be made about why he was involved in the fixture, and whilst injuries played a part, there can be no doubts about his quality, and if there were, he would not have been entrusted with a senior appearance.

MilanNews have reported that Zeroli is likely to sign a new deal with the club soon. A few details need to be ironed out before he is given an extension until 2028. Talks have been extremely positive recently, and now, it seems, a deal could be agreed shortly.
