Coach Stefano Pioli has to get his team ready for the new season, but the managers have to do their part as well as they must soon find a playmaker that would replace the exit of Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu.
La Gazzetta dello Sport explains that Stefano Pioli needs more creativity and quality in the attacking midfield position with certain characteristics. A reference point is sought, someone who can play between the lines to support the sole striker.
Many names, in this regard, are being suggested at Casa Milan. One of the most repeatedly linked ones is RB Leipzig's Austrian star whose contract is set to expire next year: Marcel Sabitzer. He might be a little slow but he has great experience.
Then, there is Ajax versatile Serbian 32-year-old player Dusan Tadic. But recently, he denied any rumours of leaving the Dutch giants.
Next on the list, Chelsea's Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, who recently won the Champions League trophy with his team is also very appreciated by the club managers.
Real Madrid's attacking midfielder, with a contract running out next year, Isco, is also among the targets for Milan. But, the issue with this front is his high salary. At the moment, signing him is just a dream.
It will not be a simple search, given the players in question and their respective clubs. Ideas and, above all, a lot of patience will be needed. But, Milan has to make some sales first and offload some players that are needed by the coach, concludes the newspaper.
