AC Milan management is currently working to find the right profile to add to Stefano Pioli's squad as the team clearly needs a defensive reinforcement because Simon Kjaer is injured and has been ruled out until the last of the season. But, there is also a need to sign a midfielder because Frack Kessié and Ismael Bennacer are leaving to participate in African Cup in January with the Ivorian's future at the end of the current season leaning towards an exit.
Many profiles have been linked to a move to Milanello, and now Calciomercato.it's latest exclusive claims that the Rossoneri have set sights on a new profile who plays as a central midfield for Russian outfit Krasnodar.
AC Milan are on Tonny Vilhena...
According to the source, the player is a concrete target. He has 15 appearances for the Netherland national team, he is 26 years old with a contract valid until 2024. In this season with Krasnodar, he scored 2 goals and 1 assist in 13 league games.
The Russian club is willing to let go of their star on a free loan with a buy-option set at an amount not more than 5-6 million euro.
AC Milan thinks about making a deal because Vilhena is a really talented player who uses both his feet really well, has a cheap pricetag and can play in multiple positions in midfield, concludes the source.
