AC Milan may soon have found their new attacking spearhead in João Pedro, and it’s not the former Cagliari and Italy national team player currently playing in Turkey with Fenerbahce. No, he is rather a young Brazilian talent born in 2001 who plays at Watford and has already scored 11 goals this season.
João Pedro was discovered by the Pozzo family at Fluminense, the club where he was trained and with whom he played the 2019-2020 season (29 games and 5 goals) and rose through the ranks to the first team under the staff of Claudio Ranieri.

This football prodigy has great admiration for Ronaldo and has already saved his home club as well as his own family, as his father, himself a former footballer, had gone through difficult times.
According to the rumors by Calciomercato, it is possible that João Pedro will join Milan from the next transfer window, which should delight the fans of the Lombard club who will surely be waiting impatiently to see this young Brazilian striker at work on the lawn of San Siro.
As a reminder, since he signed up with Watford in 2020 for a transfer worth 20 million euros, the Brazilian striker has played 104 games with 23 goals.
