The AC Milan directors do not consider the midfield department to be complete at the moment and they are hoping for some exits to fund a final move, a report claims.
Sky report that after the four new signings that have strengthened the squad available to Paulo Fonseca, at Milan the objective is now to reduce the number of players and among the main candidates to leave are Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli.
The former seems to have a market in Saudi Arabia and while his sale cannot be considered close, Milan would not stand in his way if they were faced with a significant offer and if the player wanted to go.
With the departure of the former Empoli man, Milan would go for Manu Koné of Borussia Monchengladbach, who has the same agent as Mike Maignan which could help accelerate the dialogues more quickly. Daniele De Rossi’s Roma are also targeting him.
Clubs from Qatar seem to be the most keen on the idea of exploring a deal for Adli, with developments expected on that front especially after he was left out of the squad for the opening game of the Serie A season against Torino on Saturday.
