In these last few hours of the window, Milan are trying to resolve the midfield issue and mostly because Ismael Bennacer is pushing to move to Olympique Marseille than for other reasons. The management would only let him go if they have a replacement lined up, it has emerged.
According to Orazio Accomando of DAZN, Milan and Fiorentina have asked Roma for information on Cristante, a midfielder who is now outside of the Giallorossi starting line-up and spent time in the Rossoneri’s youth sector.
He would return to Milanello to fill the void left by Bennacer’s departure, while La Viola are considering him as an alternative to Nicola Fagioli, who could leave Juventus before the window shuts.
