Tijjani Reijnders has already left, whilst Yunus Musah is also seemingly on the way to another Serie A club. So, Milan, regardless of any others, need to invest in the middle of the park. However, that need could be yet further strengthened.
Loftus-Cheek to Lazio?
It should not come as a shock that Maurizio Sarri has taken notice of his situation with the Rossoneri, especially considering the Englishman’s best came under the Italian with Chelsea. However, it could quickly be ramped up.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Laziali ‘want’ to make a move for the midfielder, powered by Sarri’s appreciation for the out-of-favour man. Furthermore, negotiations are not expected to be rejected, with Massimiliano Allegri not considering him a key part of the team.
In fact, in the past six months, there have been several suggestions that he could be heading out the way out of Milanello, alongside other Englishmen. There are no suggestions of prices, but you would imagine it would be in the €15-20 million region, which would further strengthen bids for Granit Xhaka or Javi Guerra, perhaps.
We saw how quickly Musah’s departure was negotiated, so this could follow suit if the interest is strong.
