"We want the second star", that's what Paolo Maldini said yesterday to the fans at Milanello during the first day of the retreat in view of the new season.
As Tuttosport explain in today's edition, there are two important mercato operations to reach the 20 Scudetti mark and get that second star that the Rossoneri want to achieve before their neighbours: we are talking about Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea and Charles De Ketelaere.
According to the newspaper, Stefano Pioli needs an important and quality reinforcement in the right-winger position and also for the playmaker spot behind the central forward. Behind the Morocco international and the 21-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder, there are Paulo Dybala and Marco Asensio who are the alternatives for AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
The club management are really big fans of De Ketelaere and want to anticipate the competition from other clubs who want to buy his card from Club Brugge. The demand is said to be around 30 to 35 million euros. Then, Milan also hopes to be able to sign Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea as contacts are ongoing to find an agreement with the Blues.
