Is the €30 Million Arsenal and AC Milan target defender Romagnoli really worth it?

Milan have had a very interesting Transfer Market so far. Purchasing players like Luiz Adriano, Carlos Bacca, Bertolacci; while also landing players like Jose Mauri on free transfers. Milan in the past season have been known for their weak Midfield and Defending. Even though they managed to get a high number of goals, it was all thanks to Jeremy Menez who had a good season. Besides Menez, none of the attackers really performed well other than Honda in the first 3-4 games.

Milan have significantly improved their midfield while still after players in the likes of Fellaini and Witsel. While still waiting on Ibrahimovic. Milan have been linked to Romagnoli from AS Roma for the past 3-4 weeks. The player played under Sinisa Mijhalovic last season at Sampdoria whilst being on loan. Mijhalovic is very keen on signing the Italian youngster, however he has said "I like strawberries, but i will never overpay for them" stating that he would not spend alot of money on the player. Romagnoli is a good defender, left footed, strong, athletic and fast. He is exactly what AC Milan need. It is however a risk because of his age since he hasn't developed. It is hard to tell whether players will improve to be good or bad.

For teams like Milan, who are finishing mid table but aren't supposed to; they have to take such risks and spend huge amounts of money on players. The outcome of the players performance will be seen in the future however if he does turn out to be a flop, Milan have the right to say they did purchase him and it wasn't their fault.

Arsenal are however moving really close to the defender according to Metro news. The headline states "Alessio Romagnoli cleared for Arsenal transfer with Roma happy to sell to Gunners over Ac Milan". It will be tough to see another strongly linked player move to another team. Like Kondogbia, however Milan have their eyes set on players like Garay from Zenit St Petersburg and Laporte from Athletico Bilbao.

Personally, i believe that Romagnoli will be worth the money since Milan have that money available, the rest is up to the player and how he performs.
