Yacine Adli has been linked with a departure ever since the start of the summer but in the last few days, things have been heating up. In addition to English interest, the midfielder is wanted in Qatar as stated by a report.
Adli made 33 appearances for Milan last season, following just six in 2022/23, and thus improved his position in the pecking order. However, Paulo Fonseca doesn’t consider the Frenchman part of his plan and a departure has been on the cards throughout the summer.
According to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see image below), a Qatari club has been keeping a close eye on Adli this summer and reiterated their interest a few days ago. However, despite an ‘important’ contract offer, the midfielder is ‘not convinced’ by the move.
It remains to be seen if the Qatari side can convince the former Bordeaux man to accept their offer, while an agreement with Milan wouldn’t be a problem. As added by TuttoMercatoWeb this morning, Brentford are also keen on the player and will also try to convince him.
It’s believed that Milan could pocket €12-15m from Adli’s departure and that would certainly give them a nice boost for the mercato. It could perhaps unlock the Fofana negotiations, with Milan refusing to give up.
Cant blame him for not wanting to go to middle east. Irrespective of fans opinion his not a bad player. Certainly good enough to be playing in one of the major leagues. Best case is to keep a rotational squad player. If he is not happy wanting regular football sell to likes of Brentford but insert buyback option and 20% resale clause.
If he stay he wont even play.
We need to offload players because as it is right now, we cant register everyone. And he is one of the weakest in this Milan.
Another pretentious “star” to good to play elsewhere…Where the hell do we keep finding people like this…
