CM: Conceicao, Santos, Ugarte – Mendes open to help Milan with three operations | OneFootball

Agent Jorge Mendes seems to have some grand ideas for how AC Milan should look next season and wants to help the club make three signings, a report claims.

According to Calciomercato.com, Mendes has already made his move in the ‘chess game’ that is Milan’s future and now awaits the response. Sergio Conceiçao of Porto is the man that he has put forward to be the new head coach, given he could leave very soon.

For Milan the dream remains Thiago Motta and it could remain so considering that the coach who created the Bologna miracle has an agreement with Juventus and intends to respect it, but until the signatures arrive a faint hope remains.

Paulo Fonseca has a verbal agreement with Marseille, but will communicate his choice only after May 19th because he is waiting to understand Milan’s intentions. In the meantime Mendes is pushing Conceicao but he had not convinced all the management who have asked for time.

It is a case that one door could open two more though because Mendes’ plan for Milan also includes two very interesting players that would resolve two critical issues in the squad. The first is the right-back Tiago Santos of Lille and the other is Manuel Ugarte of PSG.

We were the first to exclusively report the Santos idea and he could arrive to challenge Davide Calabria’s spot, while the latter could join via the formula of a loan with option to buy.
