The mercato can shift in an instant, as AC Milan have already learnt in this mercato, but it does not always have to be a negative shift. This morning, a report has emerged suggesting the Rossoneri are looking to ‘accelerate’ a deal for one of their targets.
Even if Milan led the Joshua Zirkzee race for months, they lost it in weeks, and this is a situation they cannot afford to be in again. Therefore, they could now look to enter a new gear and try to close some signings shortly.
Last night, it was reported that the Rossoneri were looking to ‘close two deals’, and it seems they are doing the legwork to do this, starting this morning. According to a report from Calciomercato.com, with Euro 2024 now finished for France, several things are in the works, and the priority is finalising a deal for Youssouf Fofana.
In the past few days, the Diavolo have ‘accelerated’ the process, and there is now a verbal agreement between the club and the player, but that must not be reciprocated between the two clubs.
Milan have already presented their first offer – €12 million plus bonuses, and given the Frenchman is pushing to wear the Rossoneri colours, Monaco’s hand could be forced, especially considering his contract situation.
