With the exit of defensive midfielder Franck Kessié on a free transfer to FC Barcelona, AC Milan must find an important profile to replace the former Atalanta player. Renato Sanches has been heavily linked with a move to the San Siro, but it seems that a deal is complicated now.
Calciomercato.com write that at Milanello, Tommaso Pobega is determined to display his qualities and talents in order to convince the management and coaching staff that he is the right player to be the heir of the Ivorian. Now is the time for him to prove his worth by playing to the best of his abilities in the training sessions and friendly games.
As per the same website, AC Milan are meanwhile continuing to wait for Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches from Lille. The Serie A champions have an agreement with Lille at 10 million euros plus bonuses. There was also an agreement with the player's entourage, led by agent Jorge Mendes. However, the super agent decided to change the request later by raising the demands to 4.5 million euros net per season. Time passes and Milan remains confident that the negotiation will be successful while hoping that Paris Saint-Germain are not successful in signing the former Bayern Munich player. But at the same time, Stefano Pioli is working with what he has available to him at Milanello: he is studying Tommaso Pobega who could be a pleasant surprise and make the fans forget about Franck Kessié.
