Matteo Moretto has poured cold water on the Adrien Rabiot to AC Milan rumours, while offering an update on the Tijjani Reijnders situation.
Having been linked with a move for Rabiot last summer, the rumours have reignited again following the return of Massimiliano Allegri as the head coach, someone he knows very well from their time together at Juventus.
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Frenchman revealed that he still speaks often with Allegri, and with the Rossoneri potentially in need of multiple midfielders it could be the perfect timing.
Moretto’s update
Moretto was a guest on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian YouTube channel and he gave a short update on what is happening at Milan, more specifically with the midfield. His comments were transcribed by MilanNews.
“Adrien Rabiot, Marseille midfielder, has been linked to Milan in the last few hours. With the utmost respect for colleagues and without disrespect to anyone, what we understand is that Milan are not considering the signing of Adrien Rabiot. They are looking for a different profile.
“Milan is certainly still waiting for Manchester City’s offer to unblock the sale of Reijnders, in the sense that Milan know that City wants Reijnders and want to relaunch. We are still waiting to understand when this relaunch will take place, expected in the next few hours or days.”
Thank God!
We must play hardball with all this transfers, please.
GOOD. We don’t need another box to box mid, much less one who’s as lazy as leao and comes with 12 suitcases worth of baggage and drama. We need fighters in this team, not primadonnas
Tare wants to bring the Milanista Luka Modric to Milan. At 40 he’d be the best player in the league.
A few hours or days…
LOLOLOLOL…a few days, and few weeks lol… they just don’t know. REIJNDERS might not sale there are other players out there….perhaps higher ceiling guys. Or similar and cheaper….as we know, it’s not a hard to find position, and so does City
Romano reported that we got in contact with Modric.
Is modric box to box?, Central Midfielder? Deep lying playmaker? Defensive midfielder? Or all in one
Yes
Modric deep lying playmaker , he will be good in 433 with Ricci & fofana. But thats if he dont want to play on CL next season with ACM
Modric is going to be 40 in September. Reijnders is 26 years old. Why would a team trying to rebuild a legacy and compete at the highest level make a decision like this. This would be one of the most stupid decisions ever.
