AC Milan are adamant that they will only sign Youssouf Fofana on the right terms and they are evaluating alternative targets, according to a report.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report this morning, the Milan management are looking to complete the midfield after signing Alvaro Morata for the attack and Strahinja Pavlovic for the defence, with Emerson Royal also close.
Milan would like a physical midfielder who is also comfortable in build-up, i.e. someone who can protect the defence but also start attacks. Youssouf Fofana is the name chosen and ‘every day, from today, could be the decisive one’ for the completion of the negotiation.
The Rossoneri management are waiting for an official response from Monaco to the latest offer, which is less than €20m and well below the €35m proposed by West Ham. The club will only close on its own terms and the strategy has paid off so far: Pavlovic is a done deal, Emerson almost.
Fofana wants Milan and Monaco are aware of this, as well as the fact that in 11 months he would released on a free transfer due to his contract expiring in 2025. If they do not accept the Rossoneri’s newest offer, Milan will attack the alternatives.
One above all stands out and it is Johnny Cardoso, 22, from Real Betis. He is the first reserve option and he also fits the mould that the club are looking for. Manu Koné of Borussia Monchengladbach is another option, and he would cost €15m.
Another path leads to Lazar Samardzic of Udinese who is also 22, but plays a different midfield role. The Friulian club want €25m to sell Milan can exploit his desire to join to try and get him for €15-20m.
Should’ve bought hojbjerg just like last summer should’ve bought hjulmand.
For the first time I actually agree with you
What’s that saying? Even a broken clock is right twice a day?
Non Sense for me. We already have 5 pivots & 1 additional.
– Creative Pivot : Reijnders, Bennacer, add Florenzi (because he played pivot at USA Friendly)
– Physical Pivot : Loftus-Cheeks, Pobega, Musah
Do we need to overhaul mid ? AC Milan’s mid already pretty strong, i think.
This team is completely
All the new coach need e right now is to complete the job pioli have done already
Which is playing style
All we needed was calafioli and this pavlovic that’s all
My dream team was Milan wit conte and 3 5 2 formation
Loea. Lukaku
Thoe. Rejnard. Adli. Bernaser. Fiorinzi
Calafioli pavlovic. Tomori
Second team 3 4 3 formation
Pulicic okafor. Chukweze
Terasiano. Musah check. Calabri
Taiw. Gabia. Kalulu
Bennacer is the only one who can at the pivot properly. The rest are average or makeshift. We sold the last guy who could have played there to buy those players you listed who couldn’t play there. Then sold the last other one to a Turkish team. RLC, Deers etc cannot play there because they’re not defensively astute enough. We all saw Deers not being able to fully capitalize on his potential playing in the pivot last year. Pobega? You’ve got to be kidding me. If our midfield is so complete why are we after a midfielder?
what are you on Alex?
we are playing in UCl
seria a
coppa italia
and you want our midfield to be with pobega musah and rlc against madrid or city in ucl
