A new idea has emerged in AC Milan’s pursuit of a central midfielder, according to a report: Sandi Lovric of Udinese.
Earlier on Sunday afternoon, it was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that Milan and Atalanta have agreed a deal which will see Yunus Musah head to Bergamo on an initial loan deal. La Dea will have the option to make it permanent at the end of the season.

Lovric: The latest idea
With Ardon Jashari out for a few weeks due to a fractured leg, and with both Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli still out of the plans, the management are looking to replace Musah it seems.
Now, the journalist Gianluigi Longari has revealed that there might well be a domestic target in mind to come in and take over from Musah, after the links with Adrien Rabiot and Boubakary Soumare.
He states: “Following the departure of Musah, who has now joined Atalanta, Milan are pushing for a new midfielder. In addition to the already known candidates, the Rossoneri are also considering Udinese’s Sandi Lovric.”
Lovric plays predominantly as a box-to-box midfielder. Last season he racked up two goals and three assists in 36 league games, while in his debut season for Udinese he had five goals and six assists in 37 appearances.
At the beginning of the window they told us to all be patient, its a new structure Allegri+Tare working in tandem with Moncada/Furlani for a clear direction, an italianisation, the players and squad built with certain characteristics (eg specifically a CF with Giroud attributes)
ALL OF THAT WAS NONSENSE. As we can see by the random hodge podge of player trading, the disagreements between staff and the profiles that don’t match the stated descriptions.
Its just a lie to cover for the fact that Redbird are doing everything for finances, and not to build a winning team. Maldini, Boban and others noticed , were promptly dismissed. Those remaining have agreed to tow the line and deceive the fans, to line their own pockets.
Cardinale out.
Forza Milan
They really butchered this bad. On all fronts
Took u some time to see that
Ideal scenario : Redbird clear our debts with all the money we are making and not reinvesting , get European football, sort out the San Siro stuff and then sell the club to some rich owners who care about the club.
Lets judge when the mercato closes and see what we have in place. With that said Lovric wouldn’t be bad. He has plenty of Serie A experience and is a battling midfielder.
They are16 million euros in the surplus after the Nkunku deal for transfers in and outs. They can put in 70 million more if they wanted to maximize investment, will they? Given their philosophy, they have, in theory almost balanced the books. They still can sign 4 strong players late, a CB, Striker, RB and midfielder…which we wouldn’t have to if they brought their main target in earlier instead of haggling over 3 to 5 million, then it wouldnt be ideal, still respectable job on their part. Will they remedy it with 2 days left? I doubt so. That is where I feel they butchered this mmassively.They didn’t optimize their opportunity to build a very strong team.
No time for permanent transfers really. Most will be loans from this point.
A loan with option or obligation to buy is almost similar to a permanent transfer anyways because of how payments are spread out.
True
Yes but last season there was no time to discuss things so Abraham and Saelemakers were dry loans.
That went well but I think these last deals could be similar.
He is a good player to be a backup.
Why loan him out without an obligation to buy and then bring in someone else to replace him. I don’t get?
How soon you forget.
