In the sales plan that Milan are trying to put together over the next three weeks to trim an overly large squad, midfield is undoubtedly the most crowded department, especially considering that the team will play with two midfielders rather than three compared to last season. There are some players who are certain to keep their place: Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Ardon Jashari do not appear to be on their way out.
There are also very positive feelings surrounding Christian Comotto, who could remain at least initially. The others are expected to leave, and there will also be something of a "head-to-head" battle for a place in the Rossoneri squad.
Among Milan’s midfielders, the one who is clearly up for sale, aside from Warren Bondo, who did not even travel for the tour, is Frenchman Youssouf Fofana. The former Monaco midfielder is attracting interest from several clubs in the Premier League, La Liga and Turkey. Loftus-Cheek could also leave, although he has been used as an attacking midfielder in the friendlies; the Englishman’s contract is also due to expire.
Then, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, there will be a sort of head-to-head between Samuele Ricci and Yunus Musah: the pink newspaper reports that there will only be room for one of the two in the squad. Most likely, the Italian is the one with greater appeal on the market, with Maurizio Sarri and Atalanta both very interested.
