The center forward is not the only position Milan wants to cover this summer. Equally important for the Rossoneri club is securing at least one signing for the midfield, specifically a player with defensive qualities.
In this regard, the main profiles being followed by the higher-ups at Casa Milan are two: Youssouf Fofana from Monaco and the French national team, who has already stated he will leave the French club in the coming weeks and whose contract expires in 2025; and Mats Wieffer, a midfielder from Feyenoord, who has recently risen in the management's esteem.
It is precisely on the Dutch player that the Corriere dello Sport focuses this morning, stating:
"Midfield à la Fonseca, here are the funds for Wieffer."
This specifically refers to the 22 million euros received from Atalanta for the permanent signing of Charles De Ketelaere: a sum that can be immediately reinvested in the market for a player like Wieffer (or Fofana).
The choice of this type of player is intentional and pertains to the best tactics that Fonseca wants to implement:
"The coach (Fonseca) will aim for balance in midfield: the Dutchman seems to have the right qualities."
