CM: Milan ‘scrambling’ for defensive midfield cover – the names

There are no doubts about the implications of injuries on AC Milan’s season. To further this, the fact that the injuries plagued one area further hurt the side, and this is something the Rossoneri are looking to fix in the summer mercato. 

As a report suggested today, Milan have not allowed Inter to create a further gap between themselves and the Diavolo in 2024, given the impressive start to the new year that Stefano Pioli’s side have had. However, the damage has already been done this season due to the persistent injuries the Rossoneri had to face.

Therefore, in the summer mercato, Geoffrey Moncada is reportedly ‘scrambling’ for cover to solve the issues that the squad has faced this season, according to Calciomercato.com. The report states that against Fiorentina, the attack – as is a commodity – worked like clockwork. Nevertheless, the midfield and defence were susceptible to attacks, and even after Mike Maignan’s great performance, they still conceded.

As a result, the Rossoneri have realised the need for additional midfield coverage to help strengthen the side, and there are currently two names in contention. Firstly, they are looking at Youssouf Fofana, who has been on the club’s radar for several years. Additionally, there is interest in Ibrahima Sissoko, who, again, the Diavolo have been scouting for a few years.
