MN: Milan hoping to make significant progress on three signings in next 48 hours

Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are hoping to make progress on three different signings over the coming days, according to a report.

MilanNews report how replacing Kessie and Romagnoli is a big objective for Maldini and Massara after the signing of Charles De Ketelaere, and with the opening game of the season coming up on Saturday the days are ticking by fast.

Midfield: Raphael Onyedika of FC Midtjylland is the main target, and tonight he will be involved in the Champions League play-off round second leg against Benfica, with the Danish club having to overturn a 4-1 deficit. The 21-year-old falls within both the technical and economic parameters for the Rossoneri given he would cost €7m and from tomorrow, contacts between the two clubs could be intensified.

Defence: Abdoi Diallo is the favoured target due to his speed, physicality and his versatility given he can also play left-back. The PSG defender has not managed to carve out a key role and that is why Milan want a loan with an option to buy, but for now the Parisians are asking for a permanent sale or an obligation to buy. An acceleration on this front is also expected from tomorrow, with Tottenham’s Tangangna in the background.

Attack: In addition, developments are expected between tomorrow and Friday also on Tommaso Mancini, the 18-year-old Vicenza striker.
