After the exit of Hakan Calhanoglu to bitter Serie A city rivals Inter, the Rossoneri must now keep working harder in order to find a good replacement for the attacking midfield position.
Many players have been linked to the club such as Hakim Ziyech and James Rodriguez. In addition to these two, the name of Josip Ilicic, 33 years old, is also an option according to various sources.
According to Tuttosport, Ilicic is valued at at least 8 million euros and has a contract set to expire in summer 2022. The number 72 of Atalanta may leave as he lost his starting spot at the Bergamo club.
The second profile is Mikkel Damsgaard, Danish talent of Sampdoria who plays as left-winger and capable of occupying the role of a playmaker.
It remains to be seen if Maldini and co. will step up efforts to sign one of these two, or if there are other targets that will be signed instead.
