It is time for action now. AC Milan have lost two midfielders – of different qualities, yes – but there is a lack of numbers now.
There is a need for Milan to make up ground quickly, which they have done already this summer, to their credit. With Massimiliano Allegri, the club worked quickly to bring him in, and now, they must do the same with other targets.
Midfield reshaping
Like Allegri, the move for Luka Modric was done swiftly, but he cannot be the only addition. Yunus Musah, according to reports, is on the verge of a move to Napoli, whilst Tijjani Reijnders’ time in Rossoneri is officially now over.
Calciomercato.com reports that a ‘significant hole’ in the team, but more specifically, in midfield, has opened. Massimiliano Allegri continues to ask for Adrien Rabiot, but even then, further additions are probably needed.
So, the club have also contacted the entourage of Samuele Ricci, to ‘keep the interest alive’, after the operation was paused. He is still a strong option for those at Casa Milan, who like his profile. However, it seems that it will only happen if the conditions are nicer.
At present, Torino are seeking a deal in the region of €35 million, a figure which is not too unreasonable, one would imagine. However, Milan consider it too high, and will not pay that much.
