Rade Krunic will not be available for AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli for one month due to his latest injury. This issue could force the Rossoneri directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara to speed up their process of signing a central midfielder.
The profiles linked with a move to the club are the usual: Raphael Onyedika from FC Midtjylland, Jean Onana from Girondins de Bordeaux, and Adrien Tameze from Hellas Verona. Milan, however, do not buy any player just for the sake of buying. They want to get their hands on the 'right' profile who can give a lot of quality and help to the team of Pioli.
According to Calciomercato.com, AC Milan management Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara continue to work as even other profiles are on the shortlist: we are talking about Hellas Verona's Ivan Ilic and Racing Club's Carlos Alcaraz who is an Argentine talent, aged 19. However, the Rossoneri may not be able to make a concrete attempt in this mercato session to sign one them due to the important pricetags of the two players.
The Italy-based website conclude the report by pointing out that it is easier for the AC Milan directors "to be laying the foundations for future operations now."
