AC Milan are definitely focused on the Serie A right now as they try to score as many points as possible, and they will also prepare to face Inter in the Champions League when the time comes. But, there is always an eye on possible mercato operations if opportunities present themselves.
According to what is reported by PianetaMilan, the Rossoneri's focus in the summer transfer window will be on the midfield area. The starters Sandro Tonali, Ismaël Bennacer, and Rade Krunić will be untouchable and therefore not for sale. However, AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli needs another midfielder, a player who combines technique, quantity, and quality.
In this sense, according to Spanish sources, AC Milan, in fact, would have set their sights on Ilaix Moriba. He is a 20-year-old central midfielder who represents Guinea's national team. He grew up in Barcelona's youth academy, 'La Masía,' and then sold to RB Leipzig for 16 million euros in the summer of 2021. He failed to establish himself in the Bundesliga, so the Germans sent him on loan to Valencia this season. Now, he's doing well in Spain and he remains an important talent with important potential to unleash.
His contract with RB Leipzig expires in June 2026. AC Milan are interested and they could decide to not invest in Aster Vranckx's buy-out clause to sign Moriba instead.
