Longoni: Pioli has asked Milan to sign Bologna star amid lack of midfielders

In the last few days, Bologna star Nicolas Dominguez has been linked with a move to AC Milan. The Rossoneri are in need of midfielders and as it turns out, the Argentine is a direct request of Stefano Pioli. 

Ismael Bennacer will be sidelined until the end of the year and Sandro Tonali has joined Newcastle. The midfield, therefore, needs reinforcing and the arrival of Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a good start. Tijjani Reijnders is also close to the club, but one more could arrive.

According to Andrea Longoni in his latest column for MilanNews, Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah is one of the players that could arrive in addition to Reijnders. However, Milan also have Bologna captain Dominguez on their radar.

The 25-year-old is a very hard-working midfielder and did well even against the big clubs this past season. He’s a direct request of Pioli, as per Longoni, and it remains to be seen if Giorgio Furlani will abide and try to bring in the Argentine.
