Tuttosport: Three sales, one signing – Milan’s plan to fix the midfield late in the window | OneFootball

AC Milan do not consider their work in the mercato to be done, and there could be a lot of late movement in order to fix the midfield department according to a report.

As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) write this morning, the draw in the season debut in Serie A against Torino left a bitter taste in the mouth for Milan, given that so many familiar flaws rose to the surface again.

Manu Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach is a concrete target but before making any other incoming moves, the directors know that they must make some sales, with three candidates standing out above all: Yacine Adli, Tommaso Pobega and Ismael Bennacer.

The first two were not called up for the match against Torino because they are not a part of Paulo Fonseca and Milan’s project. Concrete offers for both are awaited, just as the departure of Bennacer cannot be ruled out despite having started against the Granata on Saturday.

The Algerian is highly regarded especially in Saudi Arabia where Al-Qasdiah and Al-Hial are ready to attack in the coming days, and the three exits could provide both the funds and the spaces in the squad to welcome a fifth summer signing.

Konè is valued at €25m by Borussia Mönchengladbach but an agreement could be found at a slightly lower figure, perhaps with the inclusion of some bonuses or a resale percentage. Roma are also after him, but the Giallorossi must make sales too before attempting a decisive assault.
