Spezia are interested in signing midfielder Rade Krunic from AC Milan but he will only be allowed to leave under one condition, a report claims.
According to the latest from Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Spezia asked the Rossoneri management about whether they could potentially have Tommaso Pobega back on loan for next season, but Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara rejected their advances for the time being.
After that refusal, the Ligurian club are testing the ground for Rade Krunic and received the following response: either he is sold outright in a permanent deal or it will be difficult for the Bosnian midfielder to leave Milanello.
Krunic has been a tactically useful player for Stefano Pioli to be able to rely on during his time as Milan head coach, but there are some question marks about his current position in the squad given he is neither a natural defensive midfielder nor a playmaker.

Pioli and Maldini have already spoken at a press conference on the departures, namely Pobega, Caldara, Konti, Hauge and Casitiejo. Rade Krunic stays in Milan because Piola is needed because of his intimacy in the game, which he gives to the maximum in every game.
