AC Milan’s quest for midfield enhancement is far from limited to their pursuit of Tammy Abraham and the Alexis Saelemaekers-Roma link. The Rossoneri are diligently working to fortify their midfield under the strategic eye of Paulo Fonseca.
Silvano Vos, recently signed from Ajax, is currently undergoing medical assessments with the club. However, Milan’s ambitions extend beyond this acquisition. They are also casting their gaze towards Manu Koné of Borussia Monchengladbach. Il Corriere dello Sport reports that key figures at Milan—Geoffrey Moncada, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Giorgio Furlani—have struck a preliminary agreement with Koné. Nonetheless, negotiations with Monchengladbach are proving challenging, with the German club demanding at least €25 million for his transfer.
Squad logistics pose a significant hurdle. Should Ismael Bennacer not depart, Koné’s future might either remain with Monchengladbach or see him move to Roma. Discussions regarding the sale of Bennacer have been ongoing, yet no offers have been received from the Saudi Pro League (whose transfer window closes on September 6) or other European clubs. Thus, Bennacer’s continued presence at Milan cannot be ruled out entirely.
Meanwhile, Adrien Rabiot’s name has emerged as a compelling alternative for Milan’s midfield. With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Bennacer’s situation until the September 6 deadline, Rabiot’s potential role could become increasingly crucial as the transfer window nears its end.
