With the injury of Riccardo Montolivo and only Manuel Locatelli being available for the regista role, AC Milan will need a backup for that position, although Andrea Bertolacci has proved that he can play in that role. 

In the last hours, AC Milan have been heavily linked with midfielder Fernando Gago, whose contract with Boca Juniors is due to expire in June. The Argentine has been offered to AC Milan, but it is still early, as reported by Tuttosport, to see if the two clubs will start a negotiation or not. 

AC Milan aim to sign the Argentinian on a free transfer, as they haven’t got any money to spend this transfer market.
