Milan has reportedly moved to sign Souza from the Blades, who were relegated from the Premier League the previous season and are getting ready to make a run at returning to the top division, according to reports from Alan Nixon on his Patreon. According to Nixon, Milan is currently "working the hardest behind the scenes" to get the 25-year-old Brazilian, who plays as a defensive midfielder. Fulham had been striving to try to sign the player.
Although Souza's contract at Bramall Lane is set to expire in 2027, it is quite likely that he will leave this summer. Nixon continues by saying Milan is unhappy with its "foreign" quotas, which we assume refers to the non-EU spots, but they are hopeful that Souza will be granted a Portuguese passport. In a story a few weeks back, the same writer identified Milan as potential bidders for Souza.
