Mediaset: €4m summer signing could leave Milan in January with management unconvinced

AC Milan are considering what to do with summer signing Fodé Ballo-Tourè as he has not impressed since his arrival, according to a report.

Nobody knew too much about Ballo-Toure after his summer signing from the Ligue 1 side but he has so far racked up nine appearances and – bar a good performance against Bologna – he has certainly not convinced. He gave away a penalty in the draw against Inter at the weekend in what was a latest disappointing display, one that ended after 45 minutes as he was taken off.

SportMediaset (via MilanNews) are reporting that Milan bought the Senegal international from Monaco in the summer for €4m, but the management and coaching staff have seen that he is struggling a lot at the start of the season and for this reason it is not excluded that the club could let him leave on loan in January.

Obviously, in the event that he were to leave the club then Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara would then have to return to the market to sign another left-back, but it is not specified if this would be a loan deal for cover or a more permanent solution.
