AC Milan are starting to look even more closely at Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr as an option, a report claims.
As has been reported by Sport Mediaset today (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are very serious about Sarr now that they have missed out on a couple of midfield targets.
Renato Sanches was the primary target in that area but he is now set to sign for Paris Saint Germain after they finally made a bid for him.
Carney Chukwuemekais also now off the market after Chelse agreed on a fee with Aston Villa for the 18-year-old midfielder.
Sarr has been linked for a few weeks but his name has taken on more importance with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara as other targets rapidly disappear.
The 19-year-old made 34 appearances for Metz during his loan spell last season and Milan think he could be ready for the step up to the Rossoneri.
If he comes, he’ll be more of a depth player than a potential starter.
There have been rumors that Bennacer has declined to sign an extension and wants to move to PL.
If that’s the case, not sure if Adli, Pobega or someone like Sarr might be able to fill the gap quickly especially considering that Kessie also left.
Or we might refuse to sell him this year and sell him next year at a loss.
This might be the reason why we’re looking at more established midfielders list for a possible purchase as opposed to the emerging youngster list.
I still don’t think that Sanches would be the best bet for us long term but prices for any solid midfielders have gone to crazy levels (40+ million)
We just have to demand more from our scouts as there are many decent midfielders around Europe that won’t cost much. Nottingham Forest bought Orel Mangala for 13 million
Missing out on Sanchez by offering him peanuts will fire back, so we are going with bakayoko, pobega, and krunic as backups? We shall see then
Missing out renato? From the beginning we dont have chance . We cannot enter bidding war salary versus mbappe fc because thats one nation club . Stupid idea if we give 6m euro to renato like mbappe fc give renato. He is not worth even 5m euro salary ,he is still unproven in big club and failed in bayern muenchen
