AC Milan will have to sign at least two midfielders this summer as Sandro Tonali has left for Newcastle and Ismael Bennacer is injured. Davide Frattesi has been mentioned, but Carlo Pellegatti has now urged the club to sign another player.
Everything suggests that Frattesi is the No.1 target for the midfield as things stand, but the €40m demand of Sassuolo makes it a questionable move. The Rossoneri have other names on their list, therefore, which you can read about here.
In his latest video on Youtube (see below), Carlo Pellegatti addressed the midfield situation and shared his thoughts on Frattesi. Instead, of the Italian, he wants Milan to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who is set to leave Lazio this summer.
“I would like to send an appeal to the management. There is a player who, perhaps, could alleviate the suffering from the sale of Sandro Tonali. There is only one and it’s not Frattesi, even if I hope we take him, but Milan will never spend €40m on him.
“Let’s talk about SMS, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. I hope that the Milan directors will realise that Pioli would like him on a technical level, he’s an all-round player, he’s the best aerial player in the league, who perhaps wants to seek new stimuli in a new environment.
“I hope that Milan will take him with a blitz like Galliani. Between Frattesi and Milinkovic-Savic, I would prefer the Serbian. €35m for Milinkovic + €20m for Loftus-Cheek make €55m and Milan would have two great players on a technical level,” he stated.
It remains to be seen what will happen but it seems next week is decisive, with both Inter and Milan set to meet Sassuolo to discuss Frattesi. After then, we will know where the focus will be.
Like I mentioned before, Milan need a marquee signing to start to turn this summer around. SMS would be a great statement of intent. The funds are definitely there.
💯
The management need to step and show that they are justified in selling Tonali and sacking Maldini.
SMS and Fratassi would show us all that their is a semblance of need to make Milan challenge and it compliments the renewal of Raphael Leao!!!
Unfortunately I think Inter already secured Frattesi… He made up his mind and I think Inter is waiting for the Brozo sale to go through.
Don’t forget that Milan hasn’t brought in a replacement for Kessie, Milan needs 3 new midfielders, Krunic and Pobega are not Milan’s main player level.
Yes, but Milan needs result. As far Milan have results on pitch, there is no point bother with currents name.
Cardinale will get a headache first time when Milan dropp far away on table.
There are 10M players that can replace Kessie. I don’t think anyone is focusing on getting a player that is almost useless in build up play, they are looking for players that are good going both forward and back. SMS is great for that, Frattesi also…
Yes I mean milan lost 3 main players in midfield, 2 out and 1 injured. It would be great if Milan got a midfielder who is smarter in attack and defense.
He is not wrong about SMS but not cheek. Samardzic if udine really wants only 20M€
Might be a statement signing and the player we want, but he’s not really the player we need. Except Pioli starts to adapt his system and formation on the players available, not the other way around.
Moreover, we heard for more than once that Pioli is a centre for this so called new era. But it doesn’t look like one so far.
It’s interesting that there isn’t much talk about clubs going after Sergej.
Even Juventus is Interested in him only as a plan B if they can’t resign Rabiot.
Is it the Lotito effect?
I think it is because Rabiot is one of the best in the league and already adapted there. It doesn’t really make sense for them to let Rabiot go and pay for SMS if that is a possibility.
We need tactical transfer miracle from Moncada and Furlani.
They are unexperienced, but if Cardinle think his strategy is better than Maldini, we need more Moncada kind of singing.
We will see but letting Go of Tonali, needs to show masterpiece on transfermarket not just on midfield position.
Marquee signings are the exact opposite of moneyball. No marquee signing will arrive. Moneyball is based on low economy nailing down on statistics to try and recreate the output of marquee signings with lower level players
We need 2 DM. With Kamada we have a solution for the AM position. CDK can alternate between deputising for Leao and Kamada. France might be the answer for these DM type of players and I’m sure we can get them for around 15mil. Then focus on the RW, a striker and a backup for Theo. This boy from Lazio can be a backup RW, he is free and wouldn’t hurt grooming him. I agree SMS would be a statement signing but we should focus on our needs first.
SMS would be good for pioli system . He is his first coach in lazio & launching him. But i dont believe lotito asking only 35m euro , even in this last year of contract. For lord RLC not worth to pay chelsea 20m euro . Chelsea are hard to sell lord RLC too, most likely he will go free transfer next year
Lmao the old man thinks cardinale gonna throw 55 million 🤣
Mark my words: cardinale gonna sell another core players between Mike, Theo, Leao, Bennacer, Kalulu, and Tomori or all of them. Then he will ask the clueless furlani and moncada to find free transfer players to replace them.
Pls milan hilp thes time
Pulisic should be the priority.
