Evan N’Dicka seemed to be one step away from joining AS Roma on a free transfer but AC Milan are trying they best to hijack the deal late on.
According to Calciomercato.com, the shock caused by the farewell of Maldini and Massara is still being felt but in the meantime chief scout Geoffrey Moncada, CEO Giorgio Furlani and head coach Stefano Pioli have a summer window to think about and a team to strengthen.
They seem to have fallen on N’Dicka as a concrete target. The French centre-back will leave Eintracht Frankfurt on a free at the end of the month and he ticks a lot of boxes for Milan, starting with his experience at still a young age (23).
He could be added to the centre-back ranks with Tomori, Thiaw and Kalulu but he can also play left-back too. Milan are firmly in the race, hoping to acquire the services of another former Eintracht player – in addition to Daichi Kamada – and to steal a goal from a rival at the same time.
Roma tabled a contract until 2028 and got a verbal agreement, and there was talk of it being made official imminently, but there may now be pauses for reflection given how concrete Milan’s interest is.
