Milan Italians are considering options, to strengthen the team with a midfielder with attacking features. coach Pioli is looking for a convincing alternative, given that Brahim Diaz is currently the only player who offers security to the Italian coach. But Diaz's contract with Milan is in the form of a loan, and the player's card belongs to Real Madrid. This means that Pioli can not rely entirely on Brahim, as his future remains uncertain.
At the same time, Calhanoglu's departure to Inter has left a noticeable gap in Milan's midfield, and for this reason, Maldini and Massara are working hard to bring another "Number 10" to the team.
But what are the alternatives?
During the summer solstice, several attempts were made, from Jesus Corona of Porto to Romain Faivre of Brest, Hakim Ziyech of Chelsea and Aleksey Miranchuk of Atalanta. None of the options mentioned above materialized for financial reasons. But this January market, Milan really needs the approach of a midfielder.
In the scenario of Castillejo's departure, the player who has long been wanted by Genoa, the replacement with the highest potential to wear the "red and black" jersey remains Faivre, author of 7 goals and 5 assists in the French championship. Contacts with his club, Brest are frequent, and the player's agents have placed Milan at the top of the list.
Another name valued by the Red and Blacks is Ziyech, but on this front the chances for a deal are slimmer. The Moroccan, who are fighting for the title place at Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea, is an almost official target of Borussia Dortmund, who with money from a possible transfer of Haaland, want to take advantage of the card of Ziyech, as well as that of Adeyemi, the player of Salzburg.
