As reported this morning by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), it seems at the moment – based on sources close to the situation in France – that Milan’s first choice target for the midfield, Renato Sanches, is moving ever closer to joining Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara must turn their heads towards other targets and they already have Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka on their list of profiles that they are very much interested in.
Rather than being a signing guaranteed to boost the level of the midfield immediately, it would be a signing aimed more at the future and that is why the management are evaluating his characteristics and whether he can be a good substitute for the skill set foreseen in Sanches.
