AC Milan are not likely to make a move for Ligue 1 midfielder Youssouf Fofana and Khephren Thuram this summer as there are other ideas to strengthen the midfield.
As has been reported by Matteo Moretto for Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing, Monaco’s Fofana and Nice’s Thuram are not currently genuine targets for Milan despite being linked with the club in recent weeks.
Moretto explains that Milan are on the hunt for a midfielder that gives them something different to what they have now, which suggests more of a naturally deep-lying midfielder who can set the tone for a match and protect the back four.
Links to Fofana and Thuram were inevitable but they are supposedly not targets right now. Whilst no other names are mentioned, Moretto claims that Milan have got ‘other ideas’ about midfielders that can join the club this summer.
Ismael Bennacer has been linked with a move away in recent weeks which could be where the gap in the squad appears.
Milan are well stacked for midfielders this season with the likes of Tijjani Reijnders, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Yacine Adli, Bennacer, Tommaso Pobega and Yunus Musah, but there may be a shake-up in the summer transfer window if they can land on the right target.
