AC Monza are set to play against AC Milan in the next couple of hours. Yunus Musah, for the Rossoneri, will not be on the field as he is not available due to a physical setback. But instead, there will be Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ismael Bennacer who is not fully fit.
Despite this situation, though, Rade Krunic was not considered as a potential starter for the match. He remains out of Steefano Pioli's plans. The Bosnian player's future is increasingly away from the San Siro.
After starting the season as an important player for the coach, who consistently fielded him in the early matches, something in the relationship between the midfielder and the club has fractured.
First, a muscle injury, then seven consecutive matches on the bench despite being fully available to the coach. And now, once again, due to a forced choice because of Musah's injury, another exclusion that edges Krunic closer to departure.
Calciomercato.com point out that there is something wrong and it's not about the field but about the dialogue with the club for the renewal of his contract which is due to expire on June 30, 2025.
In fact, Rade Krunic and his representatives have aimed high thanks to contacts already made with Fenerbahce, which has offered him a three-year deal worth 3.5 million euros.
Additionally, Olympique de Lyon has also made a move to acquire him in January. The Rossoneri club managers, however, have no intention of giving him away, and considering that in January, he'll have a residual value in the balance sheet of about 1.8 million euros (beyond which a capital gain will be recorded), negotiations will start from a base of 6 to 7 million euros.
