The big news is of course the sale of Reijnders to Manchester City, which was made official on Wednesday. Losing the best midfielder in Serie A for the 2024-25 season leaves a big hole that the management must work to now plug.

Bouaddi on Milan’s list

According to Gianluca Di Marzio’s latest for Sky (via MilanNews), one of the profiles that has attracted the interest of the directors is that of Ayyoub Bouaddi, a Lille midfielder who is just 17 years of age.

The young Frenchman – who will turn 18 on October 2 – has already amassed 24 appearances in Ligue 1 and nine appearances in the Champions League in the season that has just ended.

Massimiliano Allegri, involved in the market choices of the new era, has given a positive opinion on the player. Bouaddi represents an interesting prospect for the future and Milan could decide to invest in him in the next few weeks.

Having been in the youth academy of AFC Creil, the teenager headed to Lille in 2021 and graduated from the B Team two years later. He has represented France at every youth level up to U21s.
