AC Milan need to sign a new midfielder during the mercato, and they have tried extensively to sign one player, and a report has suggested the role is, perhaps, the last thing missing from the team.
It is difficult to pinpoint when exactly Milan determined they needed a new midfielder. However, with the recurring injury problems, and a lack of stability, it became evidently clear that the area needed some focus this summer.
The plan was conceived before Paulo Fonseca’s arrival, but with the Portuguese coach wanting to ‘beef up’ the squad, the plan merged perfectly, and the Rossoneri got to work identifying candidates, and here we are.
Unfortunately, there has not been any movement for a midfielder yet, or at least positive movement, and this is because the Diavolo are struggling in the battle to get Youssouf Fofana. Whilst the French midfielder has given a move the nod, there has not been an agreement with Monaco yet.
With this, La Repubblica (via Milan News) have reported that the mercato has been positive so far, but there is a glaring issue – the lack of a midfield arrival. As the report suggests, a midfielder who can cover the defence and balance the team is missing. It is not a new problem, though, and the quality has been missing at Milan since Kessie and Tonali departed.
