Paulo Fonseca's words left no room for interpretation: for him, Milan's incoming transfer market was closed. However, this was not the case for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Rossoneri management, who are looking to give the Portuguese coach one last reinforcement to definitively complete the squad ahead of this long season.
In addition to Silvano Vos, who seems to be on the verge of arrival, Milan continues to work persistently for Manu Koné, who will debut in the Bundesliga today with Borussia Monchengladbach in their home match against the German champions Bayer Leverkusen. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, tonight's match could be the French international's last in Germany, provided that Milan makes a serious move and strikes the decisive blow by August 30th.
Ismael Bennacer makes room for Manu Koné at Milan?
These last 7 days of the transfer market are expected to be particularly intense for Milan. In addition to studying the strategy to secure Manu Koné, for whom 'Gladbach is asking for 20 million euros in a fixed fee, the club is also working on trimming Paulo Fonseca's squad, with Adli, Pobega, and especially Bennacer being the main candidates to leave Milanello. The Algerian, more than the others, could be a key player in the deal for the French midfielder, as his departure would free up a spot on the roster for Manu Koné, thus allowing Milan to make the decisive move for the 2001-born talent.
