While all of the media attention was on Adrien Rabiot’s potential arrival, AC Milan were actually thinking about a late move for Carney Chukwuemeka of Chelsea, a report claims.
According to what Matteo Moretto has told SOSFanta, the Milan directors were looking for a solution for Ismaël Bennacer late in the month, believing that offers would arrive for the Algerian midfielder that they would have gladly evaluated.
Bennacer would have willingly accepted going to the Saudi Pro League, a destination very much appreciated by him and his family, but the reality of the facts is that the right offer never arrived at Milan’s desk.
Consequently, the Rossoneri were unable to move forward with the other incoming options for the midfield. The main objective was Manu Koné but let’s remember that, in addition to Yacine Adli, the sale of another ‘foreign player’ would have been needed.
In short, if Bennacer had left on a permanent basis and a few hours before the window closed, Milan would have made a concrete attempt for the former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder, who ended up joining Roma instead.
If Bennacer had left even closer to the deadline, then Geoffrey Moncada and co. would have made a last minute attempt for Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka. The Englishman is not part of Enzo Maresca’s plans, and was looking for a new experience.
