Milan made major changes to their midfield this summer and, alongside the signings, several other names were offered and linked. In the end, the Rossoneri went for Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci, and Adrien Rabiot, but they had other opportunities as well.

During the summer, Milan spent a long time searching for midfielders. Among the names proposed, according to Matteo Moretto, was Yves Bissouma, whose contract with Tottenham runs until the summer of 2026.
The Rossoneri considered the option, even if he was not a priority, but then chose to focus on other targets such as Ardon Jashari, who had been the favorite since the start of the summer, as relayed via Milan Press.
AC Milan's Ardon Jashari deal: how was Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s involved in the negotiations?
Negotiations with Club Brugge for the Swiss midfielder were not easy, but the player remained convinced, thanks in part to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede personally stepped in during the talks, as he made contacts with the 2002-born player, who was very surprised. The Swiss understood the message and pushed until the end to wear the Rossoneri shirt.
