Milan Very Interested in Versatile Genoa Midfielder

Milan have been earmarking midfielders since Ismael Bennacer suffered a severe calf injury, and they have added Morten Frendrup to their list. The Algerian has been given a three-month timetable and might not be ready in January, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Serie A powerhouse is looking primarily for a Youssouf Fofana deputy. He has played full minutes since joining. Paulo Fonseca is working to adapt Yunus Musah, but that requires time. He has featured for just 63 minutes since they signed the former Monaco star.

Milan are after Frendrup in a time of major uncertainty for Genoa. Their owners, 777 Partners has put the club, or at least a significant portion of the shares, up for sale due to a financial crunch. They might cash in on some centerpieces in the next window if they don’t find a solution beforehand. According to Tuttomercatoweb, their stalwart would have a lot of market in the Premier League.

The Dane is worth around €20M. He moved to Italy from Brondby for €4M back in 2022. He has accumulated 97 appearances, 4 goals, and 6 assists since and has one cap with his national team. The Rossoneri are also monitoring Real Betis’ Johnny Cardoso and Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka.

Our Take on Milan and Frendrup

He’d help any side thanks to his malleability, as he can handle every role, even flank ones, and task he’s asked to, and has incredible stamina and grit and decent technique. Even with their recent aggressive tactical evolution, they should address the position regardless of Bennacer’s health, as they are too reliant on Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders.
