With the transfer window set to open on Monday, the vast majority of sources are reporting that Milan’s targets for the market are now clear: to sign a defender and a midfielder.
There are now a number of sources claiming that the midfielder could also arrive from France, more precisely from Toulouse where teenager Kouadio Koné continues to dazzle.
According to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter – who was asked for Kone update by a fan – the situation is a ‘work in progress’ for the Rossoneri.
In the original tweet, he states that Liverpool have not opened official talks with Lille to sign centre-back Sven Botman either. The Dutch centre-back has been scouted and he’s considered a true talent, but there is nothing advanced at the moment, with a decision to be made by the Anfield club.
PianetaMilan reported earlier today that Milan scouts have indeed put Botman’s name down in their notebook as the 20-year-old has stood out in the Europa League, particularly in the two games against Milan, with a €30m asking price set by Lille and with Liverpool keen.
