Milan have put some deals on hold following the departure of directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara while they adjust their strategy. They were in advanced talks to sign Daichi Kamada on a free. Such pursuit has also been slowed down by unspecified bureaucratic problems.
Per Sportitalia, coach Stefano Pioli would like to sign the player anyway. However, the new management has yet to inform the camp of the midfielder about whether they will follow up on their verbal agreement. The delay leaves them exposed to incursions by other sides. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Rossoneri have joined the fray for Youri Tielemans as well.
Milan might prioritize different positions, for instance the wings, Sky reports. They have set their sights on Samuel Chukwueze. The request by Villarreal is high, but the player is open to transfer because he hasn’t been a full-time starter last season. He has logged 6 goals and 5 assists in 37 appearances.
The Rossoneri have also been linked to Christian Pulisic for the same role, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays. The Chelsea outcast is keen because he’d get more playing time. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that he’s American, like their ownership, from a publicity standpoint. The Blues have requested €25M in the initial talks, even though his contract runs out in 2024.
Our Take on the Early Moves by Milan
Kamada and Tielemans aren’t mutually exclusive since they would play in different areas, and they need an addition in both. The same goes for the right wing. It’ll come down to price tags and how they will divvy up their budget relative to their multiple needs.
