AC Milan are looking at two reinforcements to increase the quality of the midfield and the French contingent could grow as a result, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) talks about the ‘Maginot Line’ in its title to describe the Milan management’s interest in two French midfielders who could add some pace, muscle and quality on the ball.
They are Adrien Rabiot – currently a free agent after his deal with Juventus ran out – and Youssouf Fofana who has just entered the final year of his contract with Monaco. Both were at the European Championship with Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, but were knocked out in the semis.
As mentioned, the has not renewed with Juve and he is being pursued by some big clubs, but the Rossoneri are trying. For the latter, Monaco are asking for €25m but negotiations are open and there may be some wiggle room.
The subtitle then explains what Milan’s plans are for the midfield: ‘The project is to form a strong midfield with Reijnders and Loftus-Cheek’. And then a note is added on the attacker : ‘Next week will be decisive for Morata’.
For those unaware, the Maginot Line was a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles and weapon installations built by France in the 1930s to deter invasion by Nazi Germany and force them to move around.
