AC Milan are one of the clubs interested in the idea of signing Barcelona forward Memphis Depay this summer, according to a report from Spain.
The Rossoneri are in the market for attacking reinforcements as seen by the long and so far unsuccessful pursuit of Charles De Ketelaere, and they could soon turn their attentions to other targets if things do not unlock soon.
According to AS in Spain (via JFCnews), Milan have an interest in signing Depay with the Dutchman close to leaving Barcelona this summer given that he is not part of Xavi’s plans. The Blaugrana have welcomed the arrival of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, so his margins for playing time have decreased further.
Milan are interested in him, but they face competition from domestic rivals as Napoli, Juventus and Inter are also keen on him. The source adds that his old club Lyon have shown interest, as have Spurs.
He is in the same predicament as Dybala, because he doesn’t really have a set position.
He isn’t a winger at this stage of his career
He is not a n10
In Lyon he played mostly as a false 9.
Not a player who likes to help in defense or press
He is probably best suited to play as a second striker in 2 man front line
Milan doesn’t need him
Hes less of a 2nd striker than Dybala, imho
Originally he started as a winger (RW iirc) and re invented himself as a pretty effective no.9 at Lyon
Not the best presser, agreed, but he’s way more mobile than say Giroud, so he’d be OK in our pressing system.
He wouldn’t be my first choice but isn’t a bad option for RW if we can’t get CDK or Ziyech.
If you have watched Milan under Pioli in the last 2.5 years, and seen what he asks his wingers to do, press , run all the way back on defense, move the ball quick and sprint hard on the counter, how can you say that Depay can be a good option there, He is opposite of what Pioli wants. We already have an issue when Leao doesn’t run back, we don’t need the winger on the other side to do the same thing
He should have stayed in France at Lyon, that’s his level.
You are not getting ManUtd Depay
Whatever he is or Isn’t why spend money on a winger which is a position we are well covered in !!
He also has the reputation of being a big ego and sometimes a problem in the dressing room if things aren’t going his way.
He’s also already failed in the pressure cooker of the Premier so we should save our money for a world class centre back.
TF BRO!!! WINGER IS A POSITION WE ARE WELL COVERED IN?
AC Milan dont need him. He is bad for pioli high press and team dont need false nine or second striker
How is inter interested.. they have lukaku, lautaro, correa, dzeko.. and they want another strikwr
