The midfield is one of the priorities for AC Milan this summer and while Davide Frattesi remains the No.1 target, at least one more will be needed. The Rossoneri’s wish list for the department is long, a report claims.
Sandro Tonaloi has said goodbye, joining Newcastle in a deal worth €70m, while Ismael Bennacer will be sidelined with an injury until the end of the year. In short, Milan need to bring in at least two midfielders this summer.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (see photo below), Frattesi could arrive in addition to one more midfielder. Alternatively, should the Italian join Inter or Juventus, then Milan could focus on their other targets which are not Italian.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek was on the verge of joining the club earlier this month and his arrival would be sanctioned by everyone. He has a price tag of €15-20m. The other name that appears to be most concrete is Tijjani Reijnders, who plays for AZ Alkmaar and would cost €18m.
As said, it’s possible that one of these could arrive in addition to Frattesi, or both if the latter doesn’t join. Additional targets include Carney Chukwuemeka (Chelsea), Morten Hjulmand (Lecce) and Joey Veerman (PSV).
Milan must also be wary of the Non-EU spots, as they can register two of those players and Loftus-Cheek would be one. That would mean they would also have to decide between Samuel Chukwueze and Arda Guler.
