One of the goals for AC Milan management during the transfer market window is to sign an attacking midfielder who will take over the role vacated by Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Turkish playmaker chose to sign for city rivals Inter, leaving AC Milan managers in a quest to find the perfect playmaker that would fit in the 4-2-3-1 system of Stefano Pioli.
Reports have suggested multiple names in the last few names, among the profiles repeatedly linked is Real Madrid's Spanish 29-year-old player Isco.
According to sources at Corriere dello Sport, there have been some polls from Maldini and Massara: Milan has taken information on the economic conditions of a possible transfer operation but there have been no further steps taken on this front.
The issue for Milan remains the same: Isco's salary is too high for Il Diavolo's standards right now.
