AC Milan could try to sign a new midfielder in the upcoming transfer windows as a defensive midfielder, with a role and quality similar to Youssouf Fofana is needed, especially since Ismael Bennacer is dealing with a long-term injury.

Milan eyeing move for Gourna Douath
Lucas Gourna-Douath, born in 2003 is a French midfielder who currently plays for Austrian outfit RB Salzburg. He is a tireless ball-winner, full of energy and strength.
Due to his age (21) he wouldn’t even take up a foreign player slot in Milan's squad for Serie A and the Champions League, as pointed out by Pianeta Milan.
Having grown up at Saint-Etienne and then making his mark in Austria with the Red Bull-owned club, he perfectly fits Milan’s criteria and policy in the market.
As for his transfer market value, it is reportedly set at just 10 million euros, as he is no longer a regular starter. At Milan, he would have the perfect chance to revitalise his career.
The Milan target stands at 185 centimetres tall. He is right-footed and has a contract valid until 2027. So far this season, he made 14 appearances with 618 minutes played in total. He managed to score 1 goal while also providing two assists.
