Milan’s transfer market is far from over. At the start of the summer, Furlani stated there was no need for a revolution. Yet today, less than a week from the close of business, the Rossoneri have sold heavily and already brought in seven new players, with an eighth on the way. And it may not stop there: another move in midfield is in the works, along with the hope (especially among fans) of signing a high-level central defender.
Conrad Harder and Giovanni Fabbian on the AC Milan radar:
The two hot names at the end of this transfer window are Conrad Harder and Giovanni Fabbian. For the former, the Danish striker from Sporting Lisbon, Milan have already sealed the deal, which will only be made official once the Portuguese club finds his replacement. Born in 2005, he will arrive, as Tuttosport reported this morning, for €24 million plus €3 million in bonuses and sign a five-year contract worth €1.5 million per season. A major investment for such a young player who is not even a regular starter at his current club. Milan could also make a move in midfield: the plan, should Musah leave for Atalanta, is to bring in a technically skilled mezzala. The leading candidate today is Giovanni Fabbian, for whom the Rossoneri are prepared to offer Bologna €15 million. However, everything depends on the situation with the American midfielder, as well as Brescianini’s still-uncertain move to Napoli.
What about Allegri's transfere market "dream"?
With Harder set to arrive and Fabbian on the radar, Tuttosport notes that Massimiliano Allegri’s dream targets for these two positions are quite different, two of his former players who are currently at odds with their clubs. One is Dusan Vlahovic, with whom the ex Juventus coach has maintained contact. His expiring contract could allow a bargain deal at around €15 million, but the obstacle is his €12 million salary and the Serbian’s unwillingness (at least for now) to lower his demands significantly. The second is in midfield; Allegri still dreams of Adrien Rabiot, currently frozen out of Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille after a clash. Here too, the salary could prove problematic, especially considering the financial constraints imposed by Furlani’s management.
