Last season, Messias scored five goals and provided two assists in 26 Serie A appearances. He also scored and assisted once in five Champions League appearances.

Due to Messias&#8217; age and the lack of stellar numbers, his original loan to Milan wasn&#8217;t met with much excitement. The Brazilian proved, however, that he can offer creativity, flair, and goal scoring.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"pt\">Apesar dos rumores dos \u00faltimos dias de uma poss\u00edvel desist\u00eancia e da busca da diretoria por outros nomes para o setor ofensivo, o Milan ainda ir\u00e1 resgatar J\u00fanior Messias.
