AC Milan will be able to sign Junior Messias for reduced price

The story of Junior Messias is one of many which are surprising in football. In a period of three seasons, the player has gone from playing in the Italian Serie C to the Champions League for AC Milan. 

The striker's future is not yet certain, but there is something which could yet determine his future in Italian football. Crotone's (his parent club) relegation to Serie C could see the price of the Rossoneri's option to buy him reduce. 

According to Italian journaluist Daniele Longo, AC Milan are hoping to get a five million euro reduction on the player born in Belo Horizonte. 

For the moment, the 30 year-old attacker has made 30 appearances this time, in which he has scored six goals. That has led to him being used as a player to come off the bench by coach Stefano Pioli.
