Milan will address their midfield again in January and have two targets in their crosshairs in particular, Carney Chukwuemeka and Johnny Cardoso. Ismael Bennacer has undergone surgery to repair a calf tear and will be out for four months. They won’t bring in a free agent to substitute for him.
According to Calciomercato, the Real Betis man was seen as an alternative to Youssouf Fofana, whom the Rossoneri eventually signed after a long back-and-forth with Monaco. They’ll revisit the situation in the coming window. He stars alongside Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah in the USMNT and has the same agents as their newcomer Emerson Royal.
While Milan thought about Cardoso early in the summer, they pursued Chukwuemeka late in the transfer market session. They had touched base for him on deadline day, in addition to lodging a desperate attempt for Adrien Rabiot.
The talent rarely ever plays at Chelsea and would like a change of scenery to get more game time. The two sides have done a lot of business together in recent years.
Our Take on Milan, Chukwuemeka, and Cardoso
Bennacer will be back eventually, but, whether he stays or not, he’s not somebody they can turn to on a regular basis anymore. They’ll have to make an addition unless one of their youngsters emerges in a big way in the coming months. They are visibly lacking an alternative to Fofana. They’ll have to target somebody with that kind of defensive-minded skillset, also considering the big impact he’s had right away.
