Mediaset: Willingness to accept potential sales behind Milan’s Fonseca choice | OneFootball

The various members of the AC Milan management seem to have settled on Paulo Fonseca as their choice for new head coach and his openness with regards to the summer mercato is reportedly a factor behind this.

According to SportMediaset, Milan want to avoid another protest after the one that ended up halting the talks with Julen Lopetegui and they believe that Fonseca is the right man to lead the post-Pioli era.

They will have to move as quickly as possible, also in order take into account the wishes of the new coach when it comes to the mercato. The intention is to sign a central defender, central midfielder and a striker at least, which the new manager will have a big say in.

A list of players has been evaluated, and it will then be necessary to move on to the operational phase by starting to close some agreements. Joshua Zirkzee, Benjamin Sesko and Serhou Guirassy’s chances of joining rise and fall day by day.

SportMediaset add an interesting note: what is certain is that the Fonseca choice is also motivated by his absolute willingness to accept the club’s decisions, decisions which – when it comes to exits – may not be easy to take.

The squad will not be uprooted – even if there will be more than one exit – but sizeable offers will also be taken into consideration for the big names, Theo Hernandez first and foremost.
