After reinforcing the attack and the defence, AC Milan could turn their attention to the midfield, as highlighted by the newspapers this morning.
Things have certainly gone a bit quiet in the incoming front for Milan, with the management seemingly more focused on exits for the time being. Seeing as they spent around €100m on Mario Gila and Goncalo Ramos, it’s certainly reasonable to focus on departures.

That said, the Rossoneri haven’t stopped evaluating targets on the mercato. If anything, their pursuits are even more advanced now than a few weeks ago, with players like Konstantinos Karetsas being linked with the club. Those negotiations tend to take time.
Another target has emerged for the midfield, it seems, with both Corriere dello Sport and QS naming Pierre-Emile Højbjerg as a candidate. The 30-year-old has a lot of experience and would certainly add strength to the midfield.
The last midfield signing from Marseille also turned out pretty well…

Gazzetta dello Sport
💰 “Milan, Juventus, and the Europa League. Here’s why it could become a burden.”
Corriere dello Sport
👀 “Milan are thinking about Højbjerg. The Dane could leave Marseille.”
QS
🔍 “Milan on Højbjerg.”
🚨 “American sirens for Pulisic, but the Rossoneri are saying no.”
I know Højberg wouldn’t be a ‘cool’ signing, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it if Modric isn’t coming back and we decide to cash out on either Jashari or Ricci. Doesn’t make much sense otherwise though IMO. Unless it’s made up, I guess it’s just someone they’re keeping tabs on.
