The start of the Serie A season has shown that Milan is not yet in sync, lacking fluid ball movement, creativity, and finishing. As a result, the Rossoneri are looking to make final adjustments in the transfer window to provide their coach, Paulo Fonseca, with additional options. However, for this to happen, the Italian giants may need to part ways with Ismaël Bennacer first.Liverpool’s first reinforcement – second attemptAccording to Daniele Longo, a journalist from Calciomercato specializing in Milan’s affairs, the Serie A runners-up had already offered a four-year contract with a salary of 5.5 million euros per season to Adrien Rabiot two months ago, when he left Juventus as a free agent. That offer is still on the table. However, Rabiot left Turin in search of better financial conditions (he was earning 7.5 million annually at Juve), but Milan has the option to increase their offer and lure Rabiot to San Siro. For this to happen, Bennacer would need to leave, which would free up his 4 million net salary per season and bring in a substantial transfer fee, potentially negotiating close to the Algerian’s release clause of 50 million.They are still waiting for a transferIf Rabiot finds the idea of staying in Serie A appealing, Milan will try to sweeten the deal by presenting him with a key role in the team and highlighting how well he would fit into Fonseca’s footballing philosophy. An important detail is that the Rossoneri already have three other French players on the team—Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez, and Youssouf Fofana. Another French player is also on Milan’s radar. After the departures of Tommaso Pobega, Yacine Adli, and potentially Bennacer, the club aims to strengthen its midfield. The seven-time European champions have agreed on terms with Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach, who is valued at 20 million plus bonuses by his club. This transfer, too, is directly linked to Bennacer’s departure.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298041##
