European football expert Andy Brassell believes Diego Moreira is an exciting addition to Ruben Amorim’s AC Milan side, but suspects they may have ‘overpaid’.The former Chelsea winger completed a £56million move from Strasbourg to the Rossoneri in a club-record sale for the French outfit.Moreira has signed a five-year deal through to 2031 at the San SiroGettyThe exit fee smashes the Ligue 1 side’s previous record departure of £30m, which saw Dilane Bakwa join Nottingham Forest last summer.Moreira’s move comes just two years after Chelsea sold the Belgian international to their sister club for a fee of £1.7m.The 22-year-old joined the Blues from Benfica yet struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge, making just one senior appearance for the club.He established himself in France making 32 league appearances for Strasbourg and continued to improve the next season, featuring 42 times in all competitions and scoring five goals in an historic campaign.Now managed by Amorim, AC Milan will fancy their chances in the Europa League following their latest statement signing.Is it a good deal?Brassell said: “Wing-backs who are creative and can get through a lot of work off the ball are integral to an Amorim system. I’m sure Manchester United fans got tired of him trying out players who are ill-suited for that role. “They are essentially the two most important positions in his setup, so Moreira is ideal for them.“We’re looking at someone who can contribute a lot from a left-sided attacking role. It sort of makes you think even more that Rafael Leao’s time at Milan might be coming to an end. I like Moreira a lot.“I like Moreira a lot, but just as I felt they overpaid a little for Goncalo Ramos, I think they’re overpaying for Moreira as well.”He added: “He’s a good player who I think can go on to become a really good, top-level player. For an Italian team to go out spending near the thick end of 50 million euros on a wing back, I think is quite something.The Belgian enjoyed a resurgence under Liam Rosenior at StrasbourgAFP“Obviously they’re trying to get a lot of players off the books at the moment as well. Wages will be part of it and they’ve got some big wages that they want to move on. It feels like an overpay to me, but it won’t be an overpay if Moreira ends up being what Federico Dimarco is for Inter.“That’s the benchmark they’re looking at, especially given how Inter’s formula has relied so heavily on wing-backs in recent years. And that’s why the Djed Spence signing is so important.“They need a big personality at wing back to make their system work. and it’s interesting that Milan are now heading in that same direction with their choice of coach.“This is a huge moment for Moreira. He gets to play for a massive club under a lot of pressure.”Inter Milan have re-established complete domestic control in Italy by utilising a 3-5-2 system where wing-backs like Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries act as the main goal providers.When out of possession, the wing-backs drop deep immediately alongside the three central defenders to block any attacking threats.Amorim will be hoping to re-establish his reputation as an elite European managerGettyAmorim attempted to adapt a similar system during his time at Manchester United, tasking his wing-backs with pushing high up the pitch, though the tactical experiment proved unsuccessful.However, it’s clearly proved a successful system in Italy and the Portuguese manager will bring a fresh identity to the San Siro.Brassell added: “Moreira should be stepping in for Pervis Estupinan, who has not had a great season. So they’re looking to really upgrade that sort of area.“In one way with the change of system he’s probably looking at replacing Estupiñan and maybe Leao at the same time.“Amorim said this weekend it’s going to be really hard for Leao to get back in the starting XI. And this is a point where Morena can really kick his career on. Make himself a regular for Belgium and really get himself in the top bracket of European players.”Moreira was a member of the Belgium’s World Cup squad this summer, featuring as a second-half substitute during the Red Devils’ 3-2 comeback victory over Senegal. The 22-year-old will now hope to prove in Serie A that he should be a part of Belgium’s starting lineup ahead of Euro 2028.
