According to recent news updates, AC Milan is planning to proceed with Paulo Fonseca for the role of their new head coach. The Portuguese coach is currently engaged in the final round of the French league with Lille, the team he has been managing since last season, which is vying for direct access to the next Champions League.
Only after this weekend, when the season ends for the French club, will Fonseca clarify his future and decide between staying at Lille, moving to Marseille in France, or returning to Italy with Milan.
Moreover, Fonseca's potential arrival could have positive side effects for Milan's transfer market. The Portuguese coach might persuade a couple of his current Lille players to follow him to Milan.
One is Jonathan David, a favorite of Geoffrey Moncada for a long time and listed as a potential striker for the next season. The other could be the right-back Tiago Santos, a Portuguese player born in 2001. These are two positions Milan is keen to improve for the next year, as relayed via Milan News today.
