Yacine Adli completed his initial loan move to Fiorentina a few days ago and he has already received great praise from his new manager. Indeed, speaking at a recent presser, Raffaele Palladino highlighted the midfielder’s impressive dribbling.
Adli was keen on staying at Milan this summer but due to the squad regulations, Milan were unable to include him on any of the lists (Serie A and Champions League). As such, he eventually caved and agreed to join Fiorentina on an initial loan.
The deal was announced a few days ago, with a €10m buy-out clause present for Fiorentina, and the manager Palladino is already excited. As transcribed by MilanNews, he highlighted how important the player could be for them.
“He is a strong player who played for Milan and comes from a great team. He has personality and is a great dribbler. He brings us technical quality, dynamism and unpredictability. He is an important player for us, we are happy to have him,” he stated.
The loan is believed to cost Fiorentina around €2m and while the rumoured obligation was swapped for an option, it was still an okay deal for Milan. If you want to see all the sales and loan exits for this summer, we have done an article on that.
Great dribbler, with good vision and passing skills. Basically what Milan needs in the AM position in order to add another attacking treat with thru passes and spreading of the game so some of the work load is taken out from the wingers. Not to mention that he can also press and adds high work rate. But nah we send him away for peanuts.
I’ll never forget his amazing dribbling. But his bad passes and give-aways in our back 3rd have completely left my mind.
Yeah, the best coaches know that great dribblers are best used as defensive midfielders, right? 😀 😀 😀
Never use a player with vision and passing skills as a #10, right?
Miss him already
Having just sat through another RLC performance as CAM (far from his worst). I really wonder why he was never given a chance in that position.
