A name has resurfaced as an option for the Rossoneri defence: Noussair Mazraoui.
According to English outlet CaughtOffside, Milan have once again set their sights on the Moroccan defender, who is currently owned by Manchester United. The Red Devils, according to the British source, would be open to the North African full-back leaving during the final weeks of the summer transfer window and would be willing to consider a potential offer from the club based on Via Aldo Rossi.
Initial contact has therefore been resumed through intermediaries to assess the feasibility of the operation.
The main advocate for a potential deal is Rossoneri head coach Ruben Amorim, who knows Mazraoui's abilities and qualities perfectly well from their time together in Manchester, as relayed via Calcio Mercato.
The Portuguese coach appreciates Mazraoui characteristics.
In the 3-4-2-1 system designed specifically for his Milan, the Moroccan international could operate both as a wing-back and as one of the three centre-backs. Mazraoui's timing in making forward runs, combined with his ability to build play from the back, are two fundamental qualities that could add greater quality and fluidity to Milan's play.
For now, these are simply expressions of appreciation and initial assessments that could potentially lead to a deal if further departures from the Rossoneri squad are completed.
But what is the situation at present?
As things stand, Manchester United's high valuation of the player is putting the brakes on a potential deal.
Milan must first address several matters on the sales front before making a move for the final pieces needed to strengthen the squad available to Ruben Amorim.
