This summer, AC Milan are not the only club undergoing a renovation of sorts, and the club in question, Napoli, are eyeing up a Rossoneri midfielder as they look to complete their squad.
In his debut Serie A season, Yunus Musah struggled a lot, but placing the blame on him for this is quite wrong. When the American was given chances, it was rarely in a set position and towards the end of the season, he became a guinea pig of sorts.
With Stefano Pioli’s future written, and the Rossoneri’s season finished, experimentation took place with the defence and midfield, and on several occasions, Musah was trialled at wing-back, and even as a facilitating midfielder for Davide Calabria to invert.
Today, according to a report from La Repubblica (via Milan News), the Partenopei have taken an interest in the midfielder, and Antonio Conte views the youngster as a great profile to help strengthen his midfield.
Given Conte was in the runnings for the Milan job at one stage, it would not come as a surprise if the interest in Musah has arisen from his plans for the Diavolo squad, should he have gotten the job.
However, reports from earlier in the summer suggested that the American was one of only three midfielders who were ‘guaranteed’ to be at the club at the start of the season, and given he fits the profile of what Fonseca wants in his midfield, there should not be any worries.
