There are at least six names that AC Milan are currently considering for the role of playmaker, according to a report.
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are looking for a playmaker with different characteristics from Brahim Diaz, who secured his return to Milan last month on a two-year loan from Real Madrid.
There are at least six or seven players who are on Milan’s list and are seen as potential targets by the management, ranging from Isco of Real Madrid to James Rodriguez of Everton. Nikola Vlasic of CSKA Moscow, Josip Ilicic of Atalanta, Dani Ceballos of Real Madrid and Hakim Ziyech of Chelsea are all on the notebook too.
It seems as though the Rossoneri are in no rush to sign a player for that role but rather will evaluate all the potential opportunities before deciding to accelerate.

The only feasible name on that list is Ilicic. The others are way too expensive. Ilicic is a RW short term solution that is superior to what we have now for that role. Bringing Ilicic means that we can afford a number 10 – probably James.
