Amid the apprehension that Ismael Bennacer’s absence could end up being a very long one, AC Milan are targeting a midfield reinforcement in January and there are four names that stand out.
According to what is being reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) this morning, Paulo Fonseca is having to ask his current pairing of Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana to work overtime because of the lack of a natural deputy for both.
The more the duo are stretched, the more they run the risk not being able to keep up this pace until the end of the season. In January, therefore, Geoffrey Moncada and co. could go after not one but two midfielders to try and give depth to the department.
Morten Frendrup of Genoa is the latest name to emerge as a potential back-up for Fofana and he would cost around €20m, but Johnny Cardoso of Real Betis and the USA national team is also considered a candidate.
In terms of signing a box-to-box player who can deputise Reijnders, Milan could turn back to Chelsea talent Carney Chukwuemeka after being linked in the summer. Not only that, but Cesare Casadei – who declared himself a boyhood Milan fan yesterday – is also on the list.
Milan is made up of Chelsea players already! Why add more?
Alex, Tomori, Pulisic are great signing plus Casedei is Italian. I like him.
Casadei and Frendrup is unfortunately all that we can do… should finally get covers for Fofana and Reijnders… hope for a ST as well
Both don’t get good minutes for Chelsea but when they do they are very good from what I’ve personally seen
Milan should and must sign these 2 players. Chukwuemeka would be a good backup for Reinjders and he can also play AM. Casadei is a must if we can’t get Ricci.
i think we could and must do better. These two arent any diffrent than the kids we have in futuro
We continue to hope that Chelsea rejects will bring us glory. What a joke our club has become.
Casadei is a must Carney on the other hand can be avoided. As a backup for Reijnders my preferences are Kokcu kinda expensive, Joey Veerman or try for Gabri Veiga?
Joey Veerman has shows multiple times that he can’t play well at a higer level. Kokcu is way to expensive, especially as a backup.
As CAM talisca could become available Aimar Oroz Nico Paz Elye Wahi Marmoush
We need an attacking midfielder Acmilan should sign ritsu Doan and Dario let give musah a chance in the central midfield he has improved alot and let’s sell out Loftus cheek and tomori that have make Acmilan ton conserve too many Goals
Casadei is rubbish
