After the draw achieved in the Coppa Italia against Inter, Conceição's Milan must immediately focus on the delicate challenge on Saturday evening against Fiorentina. At San Siro, the Rossoneri will need to regain cohesion and, most importantly, enthusiasm after the recent heartbreaking defeat in Naples. It won't be easy: Fiorentina is in great form, as indicated by Kean's numbers in Serie A and Palladino's team's away form. However, one topic is on everyone's mind: the former Milan players Yacine Adli and Riccardo Sottil, now with the Rossoneri.
A twist of fate?
Yacine Adli's future seems already written. His stay at Fiorentina is becoming increasingly unlikely, as, according to Corriere dello Sport, the Viola would need to pay Milan 13 million euros. However, Fiorentina's management considers this amount too high and, therefore, does not intend to finalize the deal. The midfielder is an integral part of the group and a key figure in the locker room, as evidenced by the fact that yesterday he hosted the team at his home, spending time with his teammates in the garden, relaxing and soaking up some sun.
On the other hand, Riccardo Sottil will make the reverse journey, with his redemption set at 10 million euros. Milan will not complete the purchase of the winger from Fiorentina, as his performance has not met expectations. Used very little from January onwards, he came on in yesterday's derby against Inter but failed to make an impact in such a delicate and important match. There are still 8 league games left for Milan, plus the Coppa Italia, and the Conference League for Fiorentina. During this period, Adli and Sottil will try to change their respective clubs' minds, but the paths have already been set, as relayed via Milannews.it.
