AC Milan lost in the race to sign Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches. The player chose to go to PSG where he can reunite with his former coach Christophe Galtier and ex Lille director Luis Campos. The salary offer is also a great motivation, obviously: 6 million euros net per season.
According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara want to take a day or two to better evaluate the alternative profiles and there is a list with a dozen names.
As per the Italy-based news website, Tottenham's Senegalese midfielder Pape Matar Sarr who is 19 years old is on the shortlist. AC Milan have been following him for some time, even before the Premier League side chose to sign him. There were some contacts between Frederic Massara and Fabio Paratici, director of Tottenham, but the right formula must be found: Milan's idea is to not improve the young players of other teams (therefore, no to the loan dry idea). Instead, the champions of Italy are trying to build a lasting project.
