AC Milan want a new backbone in the midfield, and Granit Xhaka could be that player, it seems. With reports suggesting good things today.
There is a lot that needs to be studied about the business that Milan conduct this summer. After all, the management started the mercato at a disadvantage, failing to keep Tijjani Reijnders despite suggestions that he would stay.
So, there is a hill to climb. However, if the funds are allocated smartly and correctly, in the fans’ eyes, then there may be less haste.
Earlier today, it was reported that the top midfield target, Xhaka, wants to leave Germany with the Rossoneri pressing heavily to buy him this summer. Now, the latest update has arrived from Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel (via Milan News).
“Milan continues to work hard on Granit Xhaka: there are constant contacts with the entourage. The Swiss has already given important openings, and the agreement with the player in the contractual terms is proceeding very well. Then we will have to understand how and if to obtain the yes of Bayer Leverkusen, who have already lost Xabi Alonso, Tah, Wirtz and Frimpong.”
Of course, the hurdle with Bayer Leverkusen still needs to be worked out. Nevertheless, it is a big sign, and it bodes well from here on out.
