Milan ended up standing pat in the midfield on deadline day, but they are set to address the position one way or the other in the coming windows, and Warren Bondo is one of the main targets on their radar. The talent has broken out in the past six months. Monza won’t stand in his way if he gets an offer from a big team in January or next year, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The Rossoneri had him as an alternative to Manu Koné. The former Borussia Moenchengladbach staple ultimately joined Roma. They’ll have to go back to the well to shore up the squad in this role. The Brianzoli will probably need to make one ‘plusvalenza’ every season for financial reasons. They took care of that by selling Andrea Colpani to Fiorentina this time around.
Milan will have to tussle with Atalanta and a few Premier League teams to snap up Bondo. He joined from Nancy for free two years ago. He went out on loan to Reggina six months later and then managed to supplant some veterans, primarily Roberto Gagliardini, in the most recent campaign. The youngster has five caps with France U-20.
The Rossoneri didn’t make an addition because Ismael Bennacer didn’t leave despite some late interest from Saudi Arabia, Atletico Madrid, and Marseille, but he’s still on the chopping block.
Our Take on Milan and Bondo
He’s clearly on the rise and, in terms of skillset, he’d be a perfect deputy for Youssouf Fofana and more suitable for that than Yunus Musah, who’s quite anarchic. They’ll probably have to settle for a lot less than what they have been asking to part ways with Bennacer.
