Di Marzio: Bennacer out, Kone in – late movement in midfield possible for Milan | OneFootball

AC Milan could be set for a busy transfer deadline day as they are still working on two potential moves for the midfield department, according to a report.

According to what is being reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the Milan mercato ‘is not over yet’ and even on this the last day the directors are trying to strengthen the squad, especially in midfield.

There is still the possibility of a loan departure of Ismael Bennacer, which would open the possibility of a new reinforcement. It is not Saudi Arabia where he might end up though, because the Algerian has received interest from European clubs.

In the event of his departure, it would then be a real race against time for Milan to try to find a replacement. The favourite is Manu Kone, for whom there is strong competition from Roma which could start a real two-horse race.

It will be an intense end to the transfer window for both Roma and Milan, who have in the meantime completed the loan swap between Alexis Saelemaekers and Tammy Abraham.

Instead of being permanent deals as expected in the past couple of days, they decided to complete a simply loan swap rather than remain stuck at a stalemate.
