AC Milan's midfield was revamped in the summer transfer window. Despite selling Sandro Tonali's card, the club management were able to sign important players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah in midfield.
Then, the Rossoneri executives focused more on offensive wingers and central forwards, leaving Yacine Adli and Tommaso Pobega as alternatives. They also did not touch Rade Krunić, who was sought after by Fenerbahçe and Olympique Lyon, but is a favorite of Stefano Pioli. In fact, Pioli has been using him as a regular starter in front of the defense. An alternative to the Bosnian in the 4-3-3 formation would be useful, and Milan seems ready to provide it to their coach.
In fact, according to what is reported by PianetaMilan, the AC Milan club management has followed Donny Van De Beek in the past, a central Dutch midfielder of Manchester United. He was a great talent at Ajax, but struggled in England due to tactical choices but above all: injuries.
The 26-year-old hasn't managed to bounce back even with a loan to Everton. Now he has recovered, but he doesn't fit into Erik ten Hag's technical project at the Red Devils. To the point that Manchester United did not include the player in the list for participation in the UEFA Champions League. Van De Beek, therefore, could be an option for AC Milan - in the January 2024 transfer market - to compete for a role as a deep-lying playmaker alongside Krunić while waiting for Ismaël Bennacer's return. However, this could only happen under two conditions: one, that Manchester United loans him with an option to buy. The second is that, in the meantime, the player does not accept the strong pursuit from Galatasaray in these days.
