AC Milan must keep going with this positive run of form and the key to do that is to ensure a competitive squad with quality players on the bench.
The Rossoneri group has a strong midfield with Franck Kessié, Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer. However, the Algerian player will be out for one month in January to play the African Cup of nations as well as Kessié who has an expiring contract and could be even sold for a low fee in the next mercato window.
As for the rest of midfielders, we are yet to understand their physical conditions and when should they be ready, we are talking about Rade Krunic and Tiémoué Bakayoko.
Milan wants to keep a high-level team with affordable budget. Therefore, the club management is thinking of rewarding coach Stefano Pioli by signing an important name from the Bundesliga: Emre Can.
The German midfielder knows Serie A because he already played for Serie A rivals Juventus in the 2018/2019 season. Then, after another season, he moved to Borussia Dortmund in January 2020.
Emre Can has experience and boasts a Champions League trophy won when he was at Bayern Munich in the season of 2012/2013. The German player with Turkish origins has a contract with Borussia Dortmund running until 2024.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara will try to lead the transfer race for the 27-year-old midfielder who is valued at around 20 million euros, which will be an affordable figure if AC Milan qualifies to the next stage of the Champions League. The Rossoneri management appreciate Emre's profile and would make an effort to secure his move, reports Italian outlet Calciomercatoweb.it.
