About ten days and then the championship will begin. The AC Milan summer has passed with enormous slowness, even for a transfer market that has brought few thrills, but soon we’ll start getting serious with the first match of the season against Torino.
At this point in the transfer market, Milan News explains that they have expected Milan to make two signings in the most urgent positions to cover. The striker has arrived, but the midfielder is still missing. This is a reinforcement that cannot be underestimated, because last year taught us that the team’s balance is worth more than anything.
In truth, on Milan’s ideal agenda, the acquisition of the midfielder was a priority and should have been at the top of the list, but something went wrong. The negotiation with Monaco for Youssouf Fofana has proven more complicated than expected, and now we are in crucial days. We need to decide whether to risk and continue pushing with the French club, or to break the hesitation and change targets, moving on to another profile. Fofana already has an agreement with the Milan management, but negotiations with Monaco have been ongoing for over a month without reaching an agreement.
The Rossoneri will need to raise their offer to around 20 million plus bonuses and hope that Monaco will accept it. Surely Furlani and Moncada won’t spend 35 million for a player whose contract expires in less than a year, as told by Antonio Vitiello in an editorial piece for Milan News.
