No, it’s not just the center forward. There is one more role left uncovered in the Milan and that it needs a new master: the median in front of the defense. The need and the priority it is essentially the same because as happens with Olivier Giroud, that position also lacks its resources.
The last season has laid bare the deficiency in the squad, not so much for Bennacer’s subpar performances, but for his characteristics absent of interdiction and real muscles. For a more balanced Milan and capable of improving an often deficient defensive phase, a reinforcement it’s a lot in that area important How much urgent.
THE names there are three, with different characteristics and experience, but all three fall into the 15-30 million investment range, some more and some less. It’s Youssouf FofanaMats Wieffer and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The first he is ready for the big leap from Monaco at the age of 25 (born in ’99) and one year after the expiry of his current contract. The strong competition is that of the Premier League and the Monegasques’ request is around 20-25 million euros.
The second he is 24 years old, but was born in 1999 like his French colleague. You have a much longer contract, until 2027, but it seems the time has come to move on to the next step: a big one. Feyenoord’s request is 25-30 million and in the past they have been monitored by Atletico Madrid.
The thirdfinally, he is the most experienced and perhaps the most ready to handle the pressure of the Milan shirt. 28 years old, but born in 1995, he has experience at Bayern Munich and Tottenham. It expires next year and this summer he will leave Spurs for a fee between 15 and 20 million, the cheapest profile of the three.
Barring any surprises, one of them could be the new pivot for a more solid midfield. As mentioned, however, it would be preferable an immediate operationat least to have the player for the American tour, so as to settle in and fit into the patterns of the new coach, Paulo Fonseca.
