He subsequently signed for the Hellas Verona and from there it went to Brescia where he did score a significant amount: 13 many.
It was then that a club of the stature of AC Milan was done with his signing. Raducioiu was going to compete to start in a team that, at that time, He had: Papin, Massaro, Simone or self Van Basten (that he could not play for a single minute due to a bloody injury that would eventually remove him).
