There has been a lot of movement this summer by AC Milan. However, the key moves could be in the next few weeks.

It has been a good summer for Milan already. They have made progress on the team and there is room to continue that. However, there is still a need to finish the project for Massimiliano Allegri’s team.

He has, as reports say, a 70% complete team so far. So, work needs to be done with time running out. Though it seems like more can be done shortly.

Another step

According to reports, the Rossoneri have quickly stepped up their interest in Zachary Athekame, and after a first bid on Friday, another could arrive shortly. Fabrizio Romano stated that the clubs hope to find a ‘middle ground’ and it could be done soon.

News has also arrived from one of his colleagues this afternoon. Matteo Moretto (via Milan Matters) writes that the right-back is ‘very close’, and there is a wish to complete a deal as early as Tuesday this week. Should this be done, you would imagine he would be able to play against Leeds and/or Chelsea this weekend.

Considering the situations elsewhere, being active and closing a deal so quickly can only be a good thing.
