The midfield was an area of interest for AC Milan throughout the summer, and it appears that this interest will continue with Geoffrey Moncada being ‘called upon’ to find midfield reinforcement.
Throughout last season, Milan’s issues seemed to stem from the midfield, with the Rossoneri struggling in many ways. On too many occasions, Stefano Pioli was entrapped in a vicious cycle of having no depth in his midfield, which affected the quality, which affected performances. Of course, one affects the other, and it creates real problems.
Therefore, when the midfield was stated to be an area to be targeted in the summer mercato, it was no shock, and the Diavolo added Youssouf Fofana to their ranks. However, Calciomercato.com have suggested that the additions in midfield may not be done yet.
As suggested by the report, Paulo Fonseca believes Milan ‘should never be a finished product’, and with the change in formations, there may be a need for new profiles in the middle, meaning Moncada is being called into action.
Moncada is yet to decide what profile to target, and there is still a lot of time to decide, but it is suggested that it will be either a midfielder ‘capable in transition’ or capable of building play like a ‘vice-Fofana’.
Carney Chukwuemeka is once again a name of interest, and he ‘would like a change in January’, elsewhere Lucas Gourna Douath and Johnny Cardoso are realistic options. Samuele Ricci is becoming less likely after a great start to the season which has seen his evaluation ‘skyrocket’.
