AC Milan are planning their midfield ahead of next season and how to cope with the exit of Franck Kessie, with two players currently out on loan forming part of the strategy.
Calciomercato.com reports that there are two certainties moving forward in Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer, but with Kessie’s exit the Rossoneri management know now that they have to fill a gap in the midfield, and they know the man they want to do so.
They also add that two more names will enter the fold in the summer because a pair of ‘new arrivals’ are already certain. Yacine Adli will join up Milan after his last few months with Bordeaux on loan and is considered a signing that will add technical quality to the midfield.
Tommaso Pobega is also destined to join him after another useful loan spell in the top flight, this time with Ivan Juric’s Torino. His market value has grown considerably, so unless an irrefutable offer arrives he will be kept and will join the midfield rotations.

Adli and Pobega are coming for rotation. Adli can use more as rotation for Diaz. While Pobega come for 4th choice of double pivot. Such that the presence of Sanches is much important to share 2 positions in double pivot with Tonali and Bennacer. Krunic could remain in the team as 5th choice, but with very limited chance to play. If Milan play in UCL next season, 5th choice would still has a chance to have more minutes to play.
Look like we have sorted out our midfield, now its time to start thinking about the right wing, and stronger trequartista, our weakest link
The trequartista role is so important for Pioli’s system.. we only score goals when the one in that role is cliqing. We need a more proven number 10 who will b supported by Adli.
Moving forward, Pioli should limit Kessie to Diaz’s backup so that Tonali-Bennacer can cement partnership.
Lastly we need to go for Belloti on a free n target at least quarters in next season’s champions League.
