Regarding Milan's winter transfer market, there has often been talk about finding a backup for Fofana and Theo Hernández. However, in January, the Rossoneri might also make a move on the right flank, where Samuel Chukwueze has failed to impress, while Christian Pulisic has now been shifted to the central attacking midfielder role.
Among the wingers, Noah Okafor has also been disappointing, playing both on the right and the left under Paulo Fonseca. The Nigerian and especially the Swiss player, who is attracting interest from Germany and England, could be sold to make room for a new signing on the right.
Who is AC Milan's primary target?
This was reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which names Maghnes Akliouche as the Rossoneri's top target for the winter market. Akliouche, a winger and attacking midfielder for Monaco, is a left-footed French talent born in 2002. He starts from the right and can make a difference with goals and assists. While not yet an established star, he undoubtedly has the potential to become one, making him an ideal profile for the club management.
How much does Milan target Maghnes Akliouche cost?
Akliouche is under contract with Monaco until 2028 and has an estimated value of 30 million euros. Negotiating with Monaco, as evidenced by the protracted summer discussions over Youssouf Fofana, is not easy. However, considering the young Frenchman's talent, it could certainly be worth the effort.
Milan also keep an eye on Jamie Leweling:
In addition to Akliouche, the Italian club is also eyeing another winger, Jamie Leweling, a 2001-born forward who plays for Stuttgart. Of Ghanaian origin, Leweling offers more pace than Akliouche, although his left foot is less refined. He compensates with speed, dribbling (he ranks sixth in the Bundesliga in this aspect), and intelligence. He is highly regarded by the Rossoneri club for his forward-thinking approach and willingness to track back and support defensively.
What is Jamie Leweling's value?
The German recently extended his contract until 2029, so it's unlikely his price will drop below 20 to 25 million euros.
