As AC Milan`s negotiations with Manchester City for Tijjani Reijnders progress, the Rossoneri have begun identifying potential midfield replacements. New coach Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare are exploring options to fill the playmaking void should Reijnders depart.
Despite initial reports of Milan rejecting City`s first offer, the Premier League champions are expected to return with an improved bid that could persuade the Italian club to sell Reijnders.
Milan`s Midfield Targets
Allegri and Tare have already initiated discussions about potential replacements, with two Serie A midfielders currently on their radar alongside Torino`s Samuele Ricci:
- Hans Nicolussi Caviglia (Venezia): Milan has contacted Venezia about the possibility of signing Nicolussi Caviglia, a player Allegri previously worked with at Juventus.
- Nicolò Rovella (Lazio): The Rossoneri highly regard Rovella, but recognize that Lazio may be reluctant to sell, especially after missing out on European competitions.
- Samuele Ricci (Torino): Ricci remains a concrete target, but Torino`s €35 million valuation has prompted Milan to consider alternatives.
As the situation with Reijnders develops, AC Milan appears well-prepared to secure a suitable replacement to maintain their midfield strength under Allegri`s leadership.
