A lot of the media speculation that currently surrounds AC Milan relates to the signings that might arrive, but there is also the need to thin out the squad with some departures as well.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) talks about cases like those of Alexis Saelemaekers, Daniel Maldini, Lorenzo Colombo, Fodé Ballo-Touré and Divock Origi, who will return to Milanello after loan spells and for whom new accommodation is sought.
However, there are also some names currently in the squad that have some question marks hanging over their heads too. For example, Tommaso Pobega is liked by Torino and Fiorentina, but he could be useful for the UEFA squad list given he is an academy graduate.
Yacine Adli will be evaluated by Paulo Fonseca in preseason to see if he can be a useful fit for his tactical approach but his stay is not a guarantee, while it remains to be seen what the future of Alessandro Florenzi will be.
The defender has already worked with the Portuguese coac during his time at Roma, but there has never been a great feeling between the two, so much so that the full-back asked to be loaned out twice.
Adli survived Pioli and that was no small feat. I’m sure he can get through Fonseca as well.
This is a nice way of saying..no team has asked about buying Adli so we will see what he can do…
Adli certainly didn’t do enough last season to attract interest from other teams. You could say that he wasn’t playing in his natural position but from what I saw he did have problems that made me think that he won’t be so terrific as an attacking midfielder either, although you never know.
I do like the kid though, he has a lot of fighting spirit, he does seem to care about winning (at least more than 90% of our players) and he can take a corner/ pass a through ball to save his life.
