Mediaset: Milan targeting Sweden international as potential replacement for Kessie

AC Milan are looking at potential options to replace Franck Kessie who looks set to leave once his contract expires, according to a report.

Kessie’s future is currently the subject of a lot of speculation given that his deal runs out in just a few months and there is nothing to suggest that he is close to signing an extension and continuing his over four-year adventure with the Rossoneri, who joined from Atalanta.

According to the latest from SportMediaset (via MilanNews), Svanberg of Bologna is currently Milan’s main target for the post-Kessie era. The Swedish midfielder born has carved out a leading role in Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side having made 20 appearances across league and cup so far with three goals to his name.

Svanberg is used to playing a double pivot as Mihajlovic has used both a 4-2-3-1 and a 3-4-2-1 with the Rossoblu since his appointment as their manager.
