Monza’s first purchase is a young man with great hopes who chose the Brianza club at the natural end of his contract with Manchester United. His name is Omari Forson and he lands in our Serie A from the Premier League. And this is already a sign. The CEO Adriano Galliani signed Forson to a four-year contract, taking him away from the competition. Omari was born in England to Ghanaian parents and in England he began to take his first football steps by attending top-level youth clubs. First West Ham, then Tottenham and then Manchester United. Versatile, he was born as a right winger but can also play with reverse foot on the opposite front and in the role of attacking midfielder if necessary. For Monza he will be a flexible element who will serve to remove points of reference from their opponents.

The purchase of Forson is also a novelty in the Monza market. The Brianza people had accustomed us to focus first of all on Italians or on elements who already knew our championship. With Forson the focus was on something completely different. Young, prospective, with no experience outside of England. A shot that positively surprises and opens the market for Galliani’s Monza. Who is preparing to begin his fiftieth season as a manager in the world of football. A very long parenthesis, interrupted only for one season when Silvio Berlusconi sold Milan. Forson is one of the products of Manchester United’s Academy. One who in the season just ended was brought into the first team several times (two benches also in the Champions League) and who actively participated in the FA Cup campaign, a cup won by the Red Devils in the final against Manchester City. For example, last February he was named player of the month of the Premier League Reserves, the championship dedicated to second teams. The big English clubs had seen something special in him. In 2019, when he chose United, he declined Arsenal’s offer. He was so interesting that in 2021 the Red Devils signed him to his first professional contract. Having Ghanaian parents and being born in England, Forson can still choose which country to represent at first team level. From Under 15 to Under 20 he wore the England shirt, but at senior national level he has not yet made his debut and can therefore dissolve his reserves. He has already crossed paths with Italian football on 27 April 2019 when he challenged Italy with the Under 15s. He didn’t score and lost 2-1, but he had the number 10 shirt on his shoulders. Just to remember his talent and his flexibility given that on that occasion he was deployed as an attacking midfielder in the 4-2-3-1.

Forson will be introduced into Italian football by a world champion. In fact, Alessandro Nesta will be his coach. Between today and tomorrow the former defender will settle the issue with Reggiana (there is a 150 thousand euro clause) and then he will be able to sign with Monza. The technician will sign an annual agreement with automatic renewal in case of salvation. After having taken a few days of holiday in Japan, having been in the USA with his family and also for institutional reasons for the Lega Serie A, Nesta is expected in Italy at this time. He must dissolve the contract with Reggiana, an agreement which, thanks to the salvation obtained, was extended by a further year. Then he will be able to sign the new agreement and also define his staff who will follow him. Including the historical deputy, Lorenzo Rubinacci.
