AC Milan's Ismael Bennacer is still sidelined due to injury, but he is recovering gradually towards a full recovery.
The Algerian midfielder's return in January could be like a significant move in the transfer market within the team.
But with Rade Krunic not providing many solutions in midfield, the Rossoneri might seek another profile in the upcoming transfer window, writes Pianeta Milan.
One name on Milan's list could be Joao Neves from Benfica. He is 18 years of age with a contract until June 2028. Confirming the interest in the Portuguese talent is 90min.com, which reported the presence of some Milan scouts during last Sunday's Lisbon derby.
The player, though, is coveted by many big clubs, including those in the Premier League. Born in 2004, he could be an important talent.
Therefore, Milan will have to work hard to bring him to Milanello in the upcoming transfer sessions. At the moment, the most feasible midfield addition would remain Assan Ouédraogo.
