Gattuso compares Milan target Musah to Kessie: “A great buy”

Gennaro Gattuso has suggested that Yunus Musah could fill the void left by Franck Kessie if AC Milan were to sign him from Valencia.

Milan have been linked with a move for Musah by a number of different sources over the past week or so, with the management looking at various options to rebuild the midfield given that Sandro Tonali’s exit is imminent.

Gattuso knows the USA international well having been in charge at Valencia for 22 games, so Corriere dello Sport spoke to him about Musah and what he could bring to another of his former sides in the Rossoneri.

“He reminds me of the Franck Kessie of before. First of all, he is a good boy, then he has great strength in his legs. My advice is this: you have to wait for him. I consider him a great buy,” he said (via TMW).

Musah has become a mainstay of a Valencia side that have struggled over the past couple of seasons. In 2022-23, he made 37 appearances across all competitions and registered two assists in 2358 minutes.
