To be able to compete at a higher level next season and especially in the Champions League competition, AC Milan managers, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, will be willing to get into the transfer market window with the intention of securing an important quality addition. Stefano Pioli will be losing his key midfield man Franck Kessié who is set to join FC Barcelona in the summer. Therefore, a strong midfielder is needed to replace the Rossonero number 79.

According to what is reported by Calciomercatoweb.it, AC Milan could choose to go after experienced Belgian midfielder of Borussia Dortmund Axel Witsel who is set to leave his club once the season ends.

The defensive midfielder has his contract expiring at the end of the current campaign. For the Rossoneri management, he would be a very good opportunity, available on a free transfer. He is 33 years old with 41 appearances and 2 goals to his name this season.
