CM: Krunic likely to miss a month – Milan must now reflect and accelerate for new signing

The injury sustained by Rade Krunic has increased the urgency that the AC Milan management have to sign a new midfielder, a report claims.

According to a report from Calciomercato.com, Krunic is expected to be out for ‘more or less’ one month, which places even more emphasis on the need to give Pioli another midfield reinforcement.

Raphael Onyedika of FC Midtylland, Jean Onana of Bordeaux and Adrien Tameze of Verona are all on the list of targets but in addition to the doubts on their asking price Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are also reflecting on whether they are the right profiles.

The Rossoneri management do not seem to be fully convinced as they were on Renato Sanches, so alternatives are continuing to be explored and the feeling is that a new and concrete pursuit could begin in the coming days.

The probable exit of Tiemoue Bakayoko and the absence of Krunic forces Maldini and Massara to take a step forward. While the interest in Ivan Ilic of Verona and Carlos Alcaraz of Racing Club is real, they are two players who – due to the price and conditions – are more being targeted to lay the foundations for future operations now.
