The injury sustained by Rade Krunic has accelerated AC Milan’s pursuit of a new midfielder with several names being evaluated, plus potentially some regrets.
MilanNews writes that Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer cannot be exclusively relied upon in what is a very hectic fixture schedule, given that Tommaso Pobega is not yet back at 100%, Tiemoue Bakayoko is outside of the plans and Krunic could miss over a month with his muscle issue.
The management are aware that there is the dual task this season of competing to retain the Scudetto and to go further in the Champions League, with less than a fortnight remaining in the transfer window.
The report mentions three names as being targets: Raphael Onyedika of FC Midtjylland, Aster Vranckx of Wolfsburg and Jean Onana of Bordeaux, but it is possible that another name that may come up.
In hindsight, MilanNews suggest there was an error in the decision to wait for Renato Sanches who in the end made it clear he only wanting PSG. That meant Maldini and Massara did not pursue a deal for Enzo Fernandez despite initiating contacts, and now he is starring for Benfica.
