It is likely that Milan will not make any changes in midfield during the winter transfer window, keeping the situation unchanged. The department is complete even after Adli's departure to Fiorentina.
Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders are the most likely candidates for the starting roles, with Loftus-Cheek acting as a utility player in the attacking midfield. Behind them, there are Yunus Musah and Ismael Bennacer. The Algerian's future, however, may be uncertain even during the January transfer market.
A potential target for Milan in the future, considering Bennacer's serious injury, is Gourna-Douath, a French defensive midfielder born in 2003 who plays for Salzburg.
The French player is demonstrating excellent abilities, with outstanding ball recovery skills and the ability to maintain the team's balance. This season, across various competitions, he has made 11 appearances and scored one goal plus two assists. Gourna-Douath's transfer value is estimated at around 9 million euros.
Therefore, he could be the new idea to cover Ismael Bennacer's absence, who will only return to training at the beginning of 2025.
