MN: A regret and a flame still alive – two names from Milan’s summer re-emerge at the World Cup | OneFootball

Two names that AC Milan negotiated over during the summer transfer window have come back into prominence given their exploits at the World Cup.

In his latest column for MilanNews, Pietro Mazzara mentions how ‘two names from the summer market re-emerge’. The first is a regret, namely Enzo Fernandez who is shining for Argentina having scored his first World Cup goal in the win over Mexico.

Milan had scouted the midfield talent extensively with Geoffrey Moncada focusing on him, but the signing was not sealed because the strategy of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara was to focus on Renato Sanches, who ended up joining Paris Saint-Germain while Fernandez went to Benfica where he is also impressing.

The second is more of an ongoing situation and it concerns Hakim Ziyech, who was the creator of Morocco’s second goal in their victory against Belgium yesterday. The Chelsea winger would solve a lot of issues on the right flank, and he continues to be linked given his lack of playing time.
