Milan transfer market, now everything on the trocar: forward with Corona, but watch out for Faivre

The game is stimulating and tells a lot about an increasingly full-bodied and ambitious project. The game is to close the summer market at eleven arrivals. In short, a whole team, absolutely declinable even with a theoretical layout on the field capable of covering all the roles (there is also the goalkeeper). Milan have five days to do it, even if in via Aldo Rossi they would most likely be happy to stop at ten. A revolutionary number, if we think that the Devil needed this magnitude even though he came from a second place.

And therefore: now that Bakayoko has also been closed (with consequent farewell to Pobega for a fixed period: right now the squad is 27) what else is cooking? What names still lie on the desks on the fourth floor of Casa Milan? The most important practice is that of the attacking midfielder / winger. We purposely use the double qualification because, as the club has already made clear several times, the research is not fossilized on a pure number 10. But on a profile capable of acting also on the right (on the left with Rebic and Leao the position is more than covered). At the top of Maldini and Massara’s list is Corona del Porto. Of course, Essien’s hand pulled a good joke: the fact that the Portuguese in the Champions League found themselves in the same group as Milan is not exactly an facilitation to the deal. But it is in any case a surmountable obstacle. The real one obviously concerns the figures. Milan, considering that the Mexican’s contract will expire next year, is willing to reach 10 million plus bonuses, while Porto is asking for between 13 and 15 depending on the bonuses. In itself, not an insurmountable distance, but time – small – does not play in favor and a gap of 3-5 million on a fairly low overall sum is a relevant factor. Today other contacts between the parties are planned, also because there is no more time to waste.

The first alternative to Corona is Faivre. Profile that changes. If the Mexican is an accomplished player in his maturation and with international experience, the French of Brest is certainly an interesting profile but still to be scorned. Also in this case the dialogue is open, since his agents have already made a stop at Casa Milan. And, again, supply and demand are separated by a few million. Brest’s request is around 17. Compared to Corona, it must be said that Faivre is probably more inclined to act centrally, without prejudice to the ability to range over the entire trocar. The name of Messias should also not be forgotten, which Crotone has put on the market but for which the Calabrian club has not yet received official offers from Milan. Finally, there is Yacine Adli (not to be confused with Amine, who has just moved from Toulouse to Bayer), now an “old” obsession of the Rossoneri management. The dialogue with Bordeaux continues, but struggles to get to the final straight. The player has for some time already said yes to the Devil’s courtship, which he considers functional due to his adaptability: Yacine can in fact act in the median (in reality the main role for which Milan was looking for him, when Bakayoko was not yet in the pipeline. ‘arrival), as well as on the trocar. Five million are dancing: Milan offers 10, Bordeaux asks for 15. In this case, a postponement to the winter transfer session cannot be ruled out.
