Before the close of the summer transfer window, AC Milan’s midfield is expected to undergo further changes. This summer has already seen the arrival of Youssouf Fofana, while Tommaso Pobega and Yacine Adli have left San Siro. However, a potential third departure from the fashion capital necessitates a response from the Rossoneri, who are now targeting Adrien Rabiot.Mönchengladbach’s Manu Koné was the first target, but Roma took advantage of Milan’s hesitation this morning and convinced the Frenchman to sign a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico. Koné is on his way to Rome, although Roma has yet to finalize an agreement with the Bundesliga club, which is demanding at least €20 million in transfer fees.🚨 L’AC Milan veut convaincre Rabiot mais doit d’abord laisser sortir Bennacer ! 👋🔴⚫️L’OM est là mais doit vendre Veretout. 🤯🔄(@86_longo) pic.twitter.com/elr72i9jfY— Actu Foot (@ActuFoot_) August 30, 2024 In a way, the Roman club may have done Milan a favor by causing them to shift their focus to Rabiot, who has been a free agent since his contract with Juventus expired at the beginning of July. Representatives of the Italian vice-champions have already scheduled a meeting with Adrien’s mother, Veronique, who also serves as his agent and has overseen his career for years.Let’s not forget that earlier this summer, Milan offered the 29-year-old Frenchman a four-year contract with a salary of €5.5 million per season – €2 million less than he earned while playing for Juventus. It’s likely that the Rossoneri will need to dig even deeper into their pockets.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305101##However, for Rabiot to join the largest stadium in Italy, Ismael Bennacer would need to depart. Saudi Arabia is no longer a practical option, but the call from Spain is tempting. Atlético Madrid have contacted Milan and informed their sports department that they want to bring the Algerian on loan.
