AC Milan have secured an important victory at the San Siro in front of their fans against Lecce yesterday thanks to Rafael Leao's brace. It's an important step towards reaching as many points as possible in order to finish in a top four position.
The club managemet want to end the season well and plan to strengthen the squad of Stefano Pioli in the coming summer. According to what is reported by PianetaMilan.it recently, the club is looking for a strong, technical, and quality midfielder in the summer transfer window who can replace Franck Kessié in Stefano Pioli's squad. AC Milan would like to get their hands on Lazio's Sergej Milinković-Savić, but we'll see if it's possible.
With Bakayoko's departure, the Italian giants will also need to find a backup for Ismaël Bennacer too. Whenever the Franco-Algerian is absent, the level of play drops a bit, and the idea is to always maintain a high level, no matter who steps onto the field.
In this regard, the recent transfer rumors have AC Milan pursuing Lucas Torreira. The former midfielder of Pescara, Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Arsenal. He is playing very well this season in Turkey for Galatasaray. The Uruguayan, who was already followed by the Rossoneri in 2019 because he was strongly wanted by then-coach Marco Giampaolo, could return to Serie A to wear the red and black shirt in two ways. Either on a loan with a fixed redemption fee of up to 13 or 15 million euros, or on a permanent transfer. However, the cash component of the deal could be reduced by including Fodé Ballo-Touré's player card, who is of interest to Istanbul's yellow and red team.
The 27-year-old midfielder stands at 166 centimetres tall but he is a very skilled player and can be physically strong too when recovering the ball. He is right-footed with a contract valid until June 2026 with Galatasaray. The AC Milan target made 28 appearances this season in Turkey between the league and cup competitions there. He played a total of 2043 minutes with one assist registered to his name.
