Rade Krunic’s situation is a peculiar one, and it cannot be ruled out that he could say goodbye to AC Milan as early as the January transfer window as per a report.
Having signed from Empoli in the summer of 2019, Krunic has spent most of his four-and-a-half years at Milan as a bit-part player and a rotation option in the midfield under Stefano Pioli.
However, in the summer – when Fenerbahce were pressing with interest and even made offers – Pioli decided to put him quite literally at the centre of his new 4-3-3 system, converting him to the defensive midfield role.
Now Krunic is back to being far from an immovable member of the line-up, as seen through the fact he started the crucial Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night on the bench.
As Calciomercato.com report, the renewal talks are not going well either. There is still a ‘great distance’ between Krunic and Milan in the negotiations for the renewal of the extension of his deal, which runs out in June 2025.
Not only that, but in the event of no agreement being reached in the coming weeks, the path could be opened for a sale in January should the right offer come in.
