The Milan management are looking into players who could come in during the summer and provide creativity in the playmaker role as Brahim Diaz continues to struggle.
Calciomercato.com report how Stefano Pioli’s tactical tweak made the difference in Milan’s fundamental win against Napoli as he dropped Brahim in favour of Franck Kessie and deployed what strongly resembled a 4-3-3 depending on the moments of the match.
The Spaniard has the potential to become an important player and he is only 22 years of age, so time and patience is needed for him to fully adjust to a playing philosophy like that of Milan, but he is currently lacking in consistency and composure.
The trust of the management is still there and Brahim will remain with the Rossoneri into next season as the terms of his two-year loan dictate, but Maldini and Massara are also evaluating different profiles that can give support to the Real Madrid man.
Noa Lang from Club Brugge (8G, 13A this season) remains an interesting opportunity but he would cost €25m, so Ruslan Malinovskyi from Atalanta (9G, 2A) and Nedim Bajrami from Empoli (9G, 5A) are also on the radar.
Yacine Adli will arrive from Bordeaux to add quality, but he may not be the only addition as Pioli continues to strive for a flexible and ‘chameleonic’ Milan.
