AC Milan must try and resolve Rade Krunic’s future this month, while the management reportedly already have a name in mind in the event they are able to sell him.
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan), there are no particular movements on the Krunic front at the moment. He has had an agreement with Fenerbahçe for months over terms, but the Turkish side must raise their €4m offer.
Presenting a new bid worth €5m as a fixed base plus bonuses could represent the key to making everyone happy and thus allowing Krunic to leave Milan and join his compatriot Edin Džeko in Turkey, especially after Stefano Pioli basically admitted he is not part of his plans.
If Krunic leaves, how could Milan replace him? The club believe a lot in the growth and development of Kevin Zeroli – who is around the first team after starring for the Primavera – but it is likely that a replacement for the Bosnian will be signed.
One of the names that that directors Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio really like is Lewis Ferguson of Bologna, a Scotland international who has actually become captain this season.
He has played 19 games so far this season for the Rossoblu, with four goals and four assists across all competitions. Ferguson could be a valid profile to invest in, though Thiago Motta would not appreciate losing such a key player mid-season of course.
