Stefano Pioli relies heavily on Hakan Calhanoglu because a talented playmaker is very important in his 4-2-3-1 system. But now, nothing is confirmed regarding the Turk's situation. Milan await his answer regarding an extension, otherwise they will have to move elsewhere.
Another playmaker who has his future yet to be written is Brahim Diaz who came on a season-loan from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
As Tuttosport explains today, Milan's offer to their number 10, Hakan, is 4 million euros per season. Maldini, waits but does not plan to wait too long. In case of seperation, Rodrigo De Paul will be the alternative deal that Milan will try to make, despite the difficulties.
As for Brahim Diaz, continues the newspaper, the will of the player and Milan is to move forward together and for this reason Maldini and Massara are in constant contact with Real Madrid.
AC Milan would like to renew the loan of the Spaniard, but this time, with the inclusion of a buy-option. The two clubs' boards are discussing it and there is optimism at Casa Milan about it.
Another name being considered for the attacking midfield area is Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. However, dealing with Chelsea and English clubs seems always difficult and complicated.
Finally, an eye must be kept on the situation of Amine Harit, 23 turning 24 in June 18, player of newly-relegated German team Schalke 04.
