Tuttosport: ‘Betting on potential’ – Milan more likely to keep Musah than Bennacer

AC Milan are looking to undergo a thinning process with their squad, and the midfield is an area that could be looked at specifically, and a report has suggested two players are facing the door, with the Rossoneri looking to bet on the future. 

It is looking like it will go to the wire this summer for Milan, and there is one area which still needs addressing – defensive midfield. All summer, the Rossoneri have been infatuated with Youssouf Fofana, but a deal is proving difficult to complete.

Monaco have a price in mind but are seemingly not considering that the midfielder’s contract expires next summer. The Diavolo are very aware of that, though, and are refusing to meet the price point, knowing that they can get the midfielder for free next summer.

He is not the only player being considered, and Milan have made attempts to sign Lazar Samardzic this summer, but reports suggest that players must leave before he would potentially arrive, and the midfield could see some departures to allow one or two to arrive.

As Tuttosport (via Milan News) reports, Yacine Adli is a ‘main suspect’ to leave, and Ismael Bennacer’s future cannot be guaranteed either. If guarantees are to be given, it would likely be directed towards Yunus Musah, given the club are ‘betting’ on his potential.
