This Saturday, AC Milan will host Fiorentina, and for Yacine Adli, it could be the first instance of him returning to the Rossoneri, with another potentially happening this summer.
In the summer, Adli seemed to be one of the most likely departures for Milan, and in the first few months in Florence, a redemption in the summer seemed highly likely, with him churning out performances for the Viola.
However, there has been a growing doubt recently about the midfielder, and it could see him return to the San Siro this summer.
According to Calciomercato.com, like Riccardo Sottil, the Frenchman is currently struggling in his surroundings, and looks increasingly likely to return to his parent club in the summer, a fate which his former Italian teammate may share.
The report relays information from Corriere dello Sport that states Fiorentina are not as inclined to make the midfielder’s spell permanent when given the chance in the summer, especially not €13 million. So it seems a return could be on the cards.
Whether there is a space for him at Milanello remains to be seen, but if the Diavolo can add €10m to their Ricci kitty, it probably would not be turned down at this point you imagine.
Lol. Some people here thought he had become some kind of immovable piece at Fiorentina.
They want this team to fight for scudetto but want him back LoL
Fiorentina is broke. Adli is a solid squad player and deserves a proper chance at Milan.
We’re supposed to rid ourselves off deadwood, not add to it.
I would take Adli 09 times out of 10 before Ruben Loftus.
Sell Ruben Loftus for minimal gain and save in Adli small salary. Adli can be strong rotation player with Fofana Musah Reijnders and Bondo. Selling Ruben Loftus, Milan would save 9 million on cost side in terms of ammortisation and gross salary. That’s huge part of loss money from champions league exit.
Keep Adli, Sell RLC and loan Musah.
We would do good to take him back, play him as a playmaker, or in an advanced midfield role , he is creative and technical, we need players like him..
keep RLC, his appendix was holding him back. Hes free
No more Ricci please. Reijnders more capable than Ricci. His assists and goals show better than Ricci.
Ricci is a defensive midfielder/deep lying playmaker, Reijnders is a mezzala converted into an attacking midfielder. How do you expect the former to have more goals and assists than the latter ?
He came from Paris Saint-Germain.
Imagine him there right now. How many games he would participate in throughout the season in that team, like 5?
Actually he came from Bordeaux.
He came from Paris Saint-Germain’s system.
Maybe current Bordeaux is exactly his level though.
Yea he came from PSG.
But Adli as a player has always drawn the short end of the stick.
He was never given a chance at PSG and also at Milan.
And as for his level, I refuse to believe that. He was never tested at his core position at Milan nor given enough games like Reijnders has to be seen how good he is at a big club. One of the few faults of Pioli.
He did good enough at La Viola. In his natural game he is better than many give him credit for especially many on this forum. That should tell you something.
Adli has always suffered from negative bias. People write him off based on abstract metrics, and belittle him on mistakes they praise others for when those commit them.
In all Adli would have been useful now in rotation with reinjders to give the latter rest. Especially given Adli techniques and vision in passing.
But at Milan we deliberately self sabotage and weeks later wonder what went wrong. Sort of a reverse IQ always going on here🤷♂️
Adli has the potential & could’ve been the next Pirlo, though I just don’t see it happening in current Milan. Maybe in the right system he can do great.
