AC Milan are set to undergo changes in the midfield department before the summer transfer window ends and that includes a couple of sales, according to a report.
Looking at the potential signings, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports how Milan are insisting on signing a defensive midfielder and are adamant that they will only sign Youssouf Fofana on the right terms, which means alternatives are being looked into.
A couple of exits could help fund at least one move, and Ismael Bennacer is wanted in Saudi Arabia. Milan’s stance is clear: if a Saudi Pro League club come along and make a big offer or trigger his €50m release clause, they will not stand in his way.
Saudi clubs are also looking at Yacine Adli, who made 24 appearances last season under Stefano Pioli but has barely featured in preseason. He is wanted above all by Al Shabab and the Rossoneri believe they can get €15-20m from his sale.
If the requests are satisfied then Milan could therefore have €65-70m come in from two sales, and they could then sign Fofana and another player such as Manu Kone or Lazar Samardzic later in the window. It could also provide funds for other deals like Tammy Abraham.
