MILAN – Waiting for the incoming market to be unblocked, with the priority remaining Joshua Zirkzee for the role of first striker, Milan is registering interest in some elements of its squad who could leave in front of offers deemed appropriate. This time it’s not the usual big names, that is Maignan, Theo Hernandez e Lionbut of profiles like that of Malick ThiawThe German defender is on Newcastle’s shortlist, a club with which Milan has an excellent relationship established a year ago with the negotiation that led Sandro Tonal in England and in Milan’s coffers 70 million plus bonuses. Newcastle’s appreciation for Thiaw has been expressed to its agents and Milan are open to a discussion to possibly find an agreement on the value of the price tag (high valuation).
The future of Bennacer e Saelemaekers
Also Ismael Bennacer he is a player who could attract the attention of important European clubs, while as regards Arab interests, his agent has repeatedly – Enzo Raiola – he stated that it is not the time to think about those goals. Obviously the opinion of Paulo Fonseca on Bennacer, because if the new AC Milan coach were to confirm the centrality of Ismael in the heart of midfield, then any discussion would have been useless always remembering that he has a 50 million clause in his contract. Milan, then, is working to find a new team Alexis Saelemaekers. Even for the Belgian full-back, who was not redeemed by Bologna, the first option is a permanent transfer with the aim of cashing in around 12 million (perhaps with some bonuses).
Ballo-Touré: Watford poll
Watford have requested information for Fode Ballo-Touré while some Turkish clubs have come forward with the entourage of Divock Origi, also totally outside the Milan technical project. Monza is negotiating the purchase of Daniel Maldini (contract expires on 30 June 2025), while Empoli continues to keep alive their interest in Marco bornwho returned to Milan after his loan to Bari. It is clear, therefore, that the Rossoneri have a series of players with whom they can try to raise money (add the redemptions of Messiah by Genoa and Krunic entirely of Fenerbahçe) to further increase spending capacity in the summer market that will officially start on Monday 1 July. On that date, Milan should send a certified email to Bologna where it will communicate its intention – already expressed informally – to activate Zirkzee’s €40 million clause. In the meantime, the tug of war with Kia Joorabchian over commissions will continue. Lukaku, Abraham, Dovbyk e Gimenez – some offered, others sought – are valid names as alternatives to Zirkzee, demonstrating how Milan has not fossilized only on him.
