Many have called for AC Milan to search for a midfielder in the January mercato. However, with Yacine Adli back in the picture, he could be an answer, at least for the short term.
Tommaso Pobega has been sidelined for several months, Ismael Bennacer has already departed for the African Cup of Nations, and the Rade Krunic situation is, as it has been for weeks, only pointing in one direction: an exit. As a result, there has been a discussion about Milan’s lack of quality depth, but with Yacine Adli’s performance against Cagliari, any potential worries could be lessened.
MilanNews writes that the midfielder was a great partner for Tijjani Reijnders and helped make the Rossoneri tick in all aspects of the game. He recovered the ball well and defended when needed. Additionally, he brought Milan up the pitch, finding Luka Jovic on more than one occasion.
The traits that Adli possesses make him a great option for Pioli in the midfield, and with him proving that he can compliment Reijnders whilst delivering a quality performance himself opens new possibilities for the midfield and could lessen worries about the current absentees.
