While waiting for an attacking midfielder to arrive from the market, Stefano Pioli is getting positive signs from Yacine Adli.
MilanNews writes how the excellent performance from Adli as a central attacking midfielder was one of the positives from the 3-2 friendly defeat against ZTE yesterday evening. The Frenchman immediately showed his technical quality, his vision and his awareness in the 30 minutes he got off the bench.
A new signing will arrive for the attack and at this moment the name in pole position remains that of Charles De Ketelaere, whose chances of arriving have gone up given his exclusion from the squad list for Club Brugge’s first game of the season.
While waiting for a response on the latest offer of €30m plus bonuses, Pioli can rest easy knowing that he already has a young talent on his books in Adli who knows how to play the role well and do so with quality.
According to English press, Milan cooled their interest in CdK with Leeds having sent a better offer to Brugge. Given Adli’s recent performances I am curious whether M&M changed their attention to other targets
Same English press also, reported last season that, Bernardo Silva would be joining AC Milan…
The season starts in three weeks, we have to get this done. Sanches would be nice as well. However I like the quality that Adil shows.
Well, if Adli keeps this performance & regularly can give many key passes, CDK will struggle to find playing time. I think thats why CDK’s transfer go cooled down, at other hand Adli has heating up performances.
Im not very worried about AM. Diaz, Adli and Krunic shoul be able to make it work. None of them is a WC player but they are hardworking and sometimes that is better/enough. We get CDK or not, he was playing more as a striker last season in brugge anyway, according to stats
CDK was on paper in a ST position but in the game itself roamed a lot onto the right flank therefore he’s not someone who isn’t used to being in a RW position keep in mind this guy was even played in LB once
