Since the start of the summer, Yacine Adli has been linked with moves away from San Siro and AC Milan are in discussions with another Serie A club about a departure.
Towards the end of the 2023/24 season, Adli quickly went from inconsistent appearances to undroppable. However, when reports suggested that there would be a midfield rework in the summer, the Frenchman found himself on the chopping board.
In many respects, it is understandable why this decision was made. A master of none, you can debate if Adli really is a jack of all trades, and the outcome would be probably not. Offensively and defensively, there are issues, and that explains why Paulo Fonseca saw a departure as the best move.
Additionally, you have the question about where he would play this season. The Rossoneri have invested in the midfield, meaning their depth is somewhat better last season, and with this Adli is probably third, if not fourth choice in most areas of the midfield.
Therefore a departure seems inevitable. Brentford have shown signs of the most interest so far this summer, but nothing is progressing on that track, and reports have suggested there is interest from France and Spain as well.
Nevertheless, a report from Milan News journalist Pietro Mazzara states that Fiorentina are in talks with the Diavolo about a loan move with a mandatory buy clause inserted into the deal. Currently, that fee is in the region of €13-16 million.
