L’Equipe: Milan have made moves ‘behind the scenes’ for Strasbourg playmaker

AC Milan are among the clubs who have taken a shine to Strasbourg attacking midfielder Habib Diarra, according to a report from France.

L’Equipe begin an update with a question: ‘Will Habib Diarra leave Strasbourg before the end of the transfer window?’. The Strasbourg hierarchy do not want him to depart, but interested clubs are starting to apply more and more pressure.

English teams have expressed a concrete interest in the past few days, but more recently it was Milan that have been ‘making moves behind the scenes’ and ‘could have cash to spend at the end of the transfer window’.

None of the clubs have yet made a formal offer to Strasbourg so it is a situation to monitor in the coming days. The 21-year-old has been mostly used as pure playmaker this season, with four goals and two assists in 16 league appearances to his name for the Alsace club.

If he were to arrive, an interesting discussion would be where he fits in Sergio Conceicao’s system. The new Milan coach has thus far preferred a 4-3-3 but has used Tijjani Reijnders further forward, so he could be a deputy or even fight for a starting spot in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

  1. Apart from Habib Diarra or Ricci, we also need to pay attention to Sverre Nypan. He is also a playmaker with a high IQ and has a good physique. Previously he was linked with a move to MU. I hope he will join Milan.

    1. According to the YouTube clip, nypan is more preferable to diarra. He knws how to dribble so well, pass distribution is unique, movement with ball is fantastic, vision is great and his shooting is on point

    1. Chelsea owner owns strasbourg. If anything, it means their player will cost a lot more money to buy. Better spend that money on ricci for the regista position
