There is a possibility that the player who will join AC Milan as the new attacking midfielder is not yet known to the media, according to a report.
As Tuttosport writes (via MilanNews), the list of attacking midfielders linked with Milan is really long, with the likes of Isco, Josip Ilicic, James Rodriguez, Nikola Vlasic and Hakim Ziyech all mentioned by various media outlets, but there could yet be a surprise.
Directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have often come up with profiles that have never emerged in the media until they are nearly a done deal – as happened with Fode Ballo-Toure – and this could be the case for the No.10 position too.
Perhaps the most striking thing so far is that the profiles mentioned above all do not seem compatible with Milan as Isco and James have high wages, Vlasic and Ziyech are costly while Ilicic is now 33.
