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.
