As the summer approaches, AC Milan are evaluating several ideas for investment, and not all of them are for a paid fee. Today, a report has claimed that they are intrigued by the idea of a young midfielder who may be available for free in the upcoming window.
It is as important to browse the free agent market as it is to evaluate paid transfers, especially when impressive young talents could be available, and this is the case for 20-year-old midfielder Charlie Patino, who Milan have been interested in for some time.
As Pianeta Milan reports, he is not interested in extending his contract with Arsenal, which means he would be available on June 1 to join another club if talks do not change in the next few weeks. However, given he is reportedly wanting to embark on a ‘new adventure’, the chances of this seem slim.
As a result, the Rossoneri are interested in a talent who has a similar story to Ismael Bennacer, given both progressed through the Arsenal academy and play a similar role.
Reports have suggested that the club may look to sacrifice a player for the investments this summer, and the Algerian may be considered if an appropriate offer arrives. If this was the case, the Diavolo may look to replace him or start to replace him with Patino.
Milan will face challenges from Italy, though, and there are several sides also interested in the situation, notably Juventus, who have been fans of the midfielder for a while.
Selling a bench player is not really a sacrifice
Burn
Benny has been sub par after his injury. Not the same player. Breaks my heart but it may be time to upgrade.
Is Patino the upgrade milan need?
Eder would be. We have Reijnders and Adli to drive forward. We need defensive mids.
Plz sign dovbyouk and savio from girona thats gonna be a great duo forza milan
Savio has signed to Man City
Dovbyk is going to be expensive or not Taty Castellanos cost 15m to Lazio. But maybe girona would expect something more.
I personally think that we need Khephren thuram and Youssouf fofana Jonathan David Scalvini strong CB to pair with tomori and a younger striker possibly Brobbey
