GdS: The search for a fixed role – Fonseca seeks clarity on Musah and Loftus-Cheek

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan’s midfield department looks set to undergo some changes before the window closes but the future of Yunus Musah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek does not seem to be in danger, a report claims.

La Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Youssouf Fofana is getting closer to Milan and is ‘one step away’, with a fixed sum of €14m having been agreed with Monaco. Just the bonuses remain to be resolved, with personal terms agreed.

Discussions are ongoing with Lazar Samardzic’s father-agent too as the Rossoneri look to add some creativity to their midfield ranks, and that could spell bad news for both Yacine Adli and Tommaso Pobega who are on the sidelines.

What about the others? The paper states that Fonseca will work with Musah, who he will meet directly in the United States when the tour there begins. In his first season the former Valencia was used 40 times, with 22 starts, and now he is looking for a fixed position.

Loftus-Cheek is a player that Fonseca sees as being able to contribute both in the attacking and defensive phase, while the possible arrival of Samardzic could push the ex-Chelsea man back into a double pivot, or he could remain closer to the striker.

  1. Special shoutout to the keyboard warriors that wanted to pay 25 mil for a player they were okay selling for 4 million more than we offered lol.

      1. If Furlani gets him for the price mentioned in the article above I bet aaaaaaall the keyboard warriors will be praising how magnificent genius Furlani is.

        Oh wait, he’s still to blame for everything that is wrong in the world. Him & Cardinale. The antichrist himself. 😀 😀 😀 😀

  2. Musah clearly has potential to be a good box to box midfielder. He’s still 20 and needs a good manager to help him in his decision making. The kid can carry the ball for days, but he needs someone to teach him passing/finishing. His last touch is consistently his worst. Iron that out and you’ve got a dangerous player

    1. Yeah his potential is great and hes an even better ball carrier then Kessie because hes more technical and faster. Just need to work on that last pass/shot, and being a little quicker in mind and feet to make the right decisions.

      But dribbling and running hes excellent at. A rough diamond.
