Milan to Scout Brentford-Linked Genoa Midfielder | OneFootball

Milan will take a close look at Morten Frendrup during Monday’s game. The Rossoneri have been keen in the past already, but Genoa always shut the door at his departure, selling other cornerstones instead.

According to Calciomercato, Brentford have been working on such a deal for a while. They are in pole position and ready to seal the deal, provided no big team upsets their apple cart. The player might prefer the Rossoneri when push comes to shove, though.

Milan plot to bolster their midfield and find a deputy for Youssouf Fofana, and Frendrup would fit the bill. They tried with Warren Bondo in January, but the youngster hasn’t been too convincing so far.

The Rossoneri are interested but haven’t yet decided whether they’ll indeed go after the Dane. With an offer already in their pocket, Genoa ask for no less than €20M. He has starred in 123 games with the Rossoblù since transferring from Brondby in January 2022, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists.

Our Take on Milan and Frendrup

This type of thing is where not having sorted out their management hurts. Any target and pursuit is moot until they do. The uncertainty about their bench also slows down their transfer market plans. He’s likely to leave in the summer, as Genoa don’t have other assets to foot their summer, unless their new owner completely shifts their MO, allowing them to keep all their core players. The Rossoneri don’t need too much depth without the Champions League and already made a decent investment in the position in January.
