RR: Pioli lining up formation change as work continues on two midfield targets

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are moving to secure two more midfield signings that would see them also complete a change in formation, a report claims.

According to the latest from Simone Cristao of Radio Rossonera, the first bit of news from Tuesday so far is that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has decided to take the number eight shirt vacated by Sandro Tonali’s move to Newcastle United becoming official.

However, the Englishman will not be the only player who arrives to rebuild the midfield following Tonali’s exit because there are a couple more targets being actively worked upon now the window has officially opened.

Tijjani Reijnders is the name at the top of the list and it is Stefano Pioli above all who endorses the idea of the Dutchman joining the club. The management are accelerating as a result, with a ‘minimal distance’ between Milan and AZ Alkmaar over the transfer fee.

Moreover, the first meeting will take place with Sassuolo for Davide Frattesi today with updates expected after. All this will aid Milan’s switch to a 4-3-3 formation from a 4-2-3-1, the journalist adds.

  1. I like 4-3-3 but it would have been much better to keep Tonali and sell Bennacer (if he wasn‘t injured) for that formation.

    Saele is a clear candidate for an exit with 4-3-3, in a 4-2-3-1 he can compensate for his goal output, no chance in a 4-3-3.

  2. No I prefer Acmilan in the 4-2-3-1 it makes Milan more deadly in the attacking and makes Milan to use space and drift their opponents it makes us see valiality of using attacking midfield to penetrate our opponents instead of central midfield that Pioli is mistakenly relying on so I would prefer 4-2-3-1 for acmilan it has upgraded us

  3. Stale news. Fratessi is now Internazionale.
    Get Reijnders, get Gravenberch, get the Musah that has be giving you a hard-on, and move on to other positions that needs improvement.

  4. LOL 4-3-3? Pioli?

    He lost pretty much every game played in 433 with a scudetto winning team lol Good luck Pioli.
