CM: Moncada working to thin out the Milan squad – three exits in the pipeline

AC Milan have been busy with new signings but now they must work on solutions to thin out the squad and offload players no longer deemed a part of their plans.

As Calciomercato.com reports, CEO Giorgio Furlani is with the team in the USA but chief scout Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio are in Italy still working intensely to complete various outgoing operations.

The first will be Matteo Gabbia, who is heading to try a new experience in Spain. During the talks over Samuel Chukwueze the idea of him going to Villarreal emerged, and he will join them on a season-long dry loan.

A new attempt by Besiktas to sign Ante Rebic has been made as well, but both Milan and the player are not convinced by the loan bid as they would prefer a permanent transfer. Talks will continue.

Fulham have put forward €4m for Fode Ballo-Tourè, which is the amount wanted by the management. Now the final decision belongs to the Senegalese full-back who has taken a couple of days because he is also tempted by the possibility of going to Bologna.
