Tuttosport: Milan want a midfield all-rounder this summer – the names linked

AC Milan want to sign a balanced midfielder who can give the team a little bit of everything which has led them to three specific names at this point in the summer transfer window. 

As highlighted by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri need a player who can add a bit more physicality to the Milan midfield than is currently there, but is also able to help the team in attack when needed and play more than one role.

With so many games each season, it is important for players to not be limited to a single job. Players of this ilk have left in the recent past, namely Franck Kessie, Rade Krunic and Sandro Tonali.

Milan have been linked with three midfielders this summer who would add a defensive edge but have more than just that to their game. The most prominent name is certainly Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, but Feyenoord’s Mats Wieffer and Fluminense’s Andre Trindade have also been linked.

All three players are thought to require a similar transfer fee of roughly €25m which means they are all affordable.

The job for Milan now is to decide which player makes the most sporting and economic sense out of the three.
