Padova weigh move for Milan Futuro midfielder Kevin Zeroli

Italy-Nigeria midfielder Kevin Zeroli is the subject of a reported move from Milan Futuro to Padova, who are preparing for life in Serie B.

The 21-year-old central midfielder returned to Milan Futuro on 30 June after ending a loan spell with Juve Stabia. He had joined the Serie B club in January, having previously spent part of the 2024-25 season on loan at Monza.

Zeroli remains under contract with Milan Futuro until 30 June 2028. His market value is listed at €3.3m, while a fee or agreement between the clubs has not been reported.

The move would represent a return to Serie B for Zeroli, who has made 13 appearances in the division and scored once. He has also featured in Serie A, making 12 appearances and registering one assist, although his current club is competing in Serie D.

Zeroli came through Milan’s youth system before joining the senior side in July 2024. He was part of the AC Milan squad that won the Italian Super Cup in the 2024-25 season.

Padova’s interest comes as the club targets a midfielder with experience of Italy’s professional divisions, while Zeroli’s immediate future remains tied to Milan Futuro under his existing contract.
