Claudio Raimondi, market expert for Mediaset, spoke about Milan’s moves for the winter transfer window to TuttoMercatoWeb.com.
In which department should Milan intervene?
“The absolute priority is in defense, the most incomplete department. There are two total failures, Musacchio and Duarte. The first will go away while the second has been overtaken by Kalulu who is not a central but a full-back. There may also be the possibility of double assignment. Then the idea is to focus on young people, Simakan and Kabak are the hot names, not the Rudigers to give an example. We are looking for someone to work alongside Gabbia, the philosophy of young people is always the same. We are looking for a class of 2000 ”.
Do we also need a deputy Ibra?
“Yes, but it is clear that it would involve sending Colombo on loan. There are not many possibilities in this market for a 9, and it is a problem. Because he doesn’t like Rebic as a center forward. The Croatian has always done well as a winger while struggling as a false nine. And the races without Ibra made it clear that he moves badly in that role. All the more reason Milan will have to be attentive to market opportunities “.
Calhanoglu renews?
“At this point, yes, by the end of 2020 we will try to close. Milan tried to see if there were similar players but for the same role there are expensive investments. During the meeting, Maldini said words of esteem to his agent. Milan chooses continuity and trusts Calhanoglu’s growth on the pitch “.
