As reported by CalcioMercato, despite not being the first choice for Milan, the idea of Josip Ilicic joining the Rossoneri is still an option. The buzz around Milan and Ilicic has faded in the last few weeks. Milan had their sights set on de Paul for some time, then the renewal of Hakan Calhanoglu was at center of attention, and now new targets are emerging for Maldini and Massara. Despite this fact, Milan still see the Slovenian as a viable option in the number 10 role.
Milan are on a hunt for a profile that can help the attack. With the departure of Calhanoglu, Milan will need reinforcements, as Brahim Diaz will not be able to carry all of the weight. Ilicic is an experienced player at 33-years-old and has played in Serie A since 2010. The player is expected to part ways with Atalanta, and Milan remains a a very possible destination for the player.
Ilicic was responsible for 15 goal contributions last season for his club, and has scored over 50 goals over the last four seasons. Milan will still continue to monitor the Slovenian's status, but will also be looking at other profiles this summer.
