Vitiello: Milan turn to youngsters Vos and Zeroli amid long Bennacer absence

Ismael Bennacer is expected to be on the sidelines for roughly three months and as the transfer window has closed, AC Milan will rely on internal solutions. According to a report, these are Silvano Vos and Kevin Zeroli. 

The signing of Vos, above all for Milan Futuro, was announced on deadline day as Milan agreed on a deal that could be worth up to €5m with Ajax. The Dutchman impressed in his debut with the Futuro, as highlighted by a compilation of his performance.

According to Antonio Vitiello, Milan consider Vos and Zeroli as the replacements for Bennacer, with especially the former expected to feature for the first team. On the other hand, he hasn’t been included on the Champions League squad list, though Zeroli has (through List B).

Milan could also scan the free agents market, as the journalist concludes, but a potential signing would only be able to play in Serie A and not in the Champions League. It thus might not be worth the hassle unless it’s someone like Adrien Rabiot, who was offered a contract by the Rossoneri.

As for the upcoming games, including the derby, the midfield tandem should consist of Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders. Yunus Musah will also be competing for one of those spots.
