AC Milan are looking for a new central midfielder ahead of the 2024-25 campaign which will begin under a new head coach, and a journalist has claimed that they have turned towards Sassuolo.
According to the journalist Nico Schira, Milan have asked for information from Sassuolo about midfielder Daniel Boloca, who stood out during a difficult season for them which ended with relegation to Serie B.

Boloca was one of the very few positive notes of Neroverdi’s campaign but it was not enough to stop them suffering the drop rather unexpectedly after 11 years in the top flight of Italian football.
He made 30 appearances and scored one goal, and after the relegation he could be one of a few players who looks to move on and secure a move away. The journalist adds that Fiorentina and Lazio – in addition to Milan – have made an enquiry.
Boloca was born in Italy but he made his international debut for the Romania national team on 17 November 2022. Then, in December 2022 he was invited to an Italy training camp.
After that he publicly declared his preference to play for the Azzurri over Romania, though he is yet to make his full debut under Roberto Mancini or Luciano Spalletti as of yet.




Fire Sale at Sassuolo this summer. Pinamonti? Boloca? Where will Berardi end up?
The new Krunic. Great runner, excellent passer in tight spaces, and tactically smart. Not good defensively thought, except in covering ground. Ok squad player I guess.
Hope he has more brains than Krunic. Otherwise no thanks lol
There’s a few we could look at here, especially for squad depth, Lipani is an exciting young DM, Volpato exciting young AM, Berardi we know about and also Pinamonti, good option up front, all worth a look and all affordable.
But they are not French so that could be an issue….
Pinamonti will be another Jovic
Lipani maybe. Ricci is better
Berardi can be good
Boloca isn’t Milan Quality
Volpato isn’t good enough, Pafundi is better
Lauriente lost completely his form
“Berardi can be good” understatement of the year. But he also can be injured
