Milan, axis with Valencia: two possible strikes in defense and midfield

The Milan-Valencia axis is heating up: AC Milan has set its sights on two players from the Spanish club, Uruguayan defender Facundo Gonzalez and US midfielder Yunus Musah.

The 2003-born defender, who has been approached in recent weeks by Genoa and Monza, has a contract expiring in 2024 and could leave at a nonexcessive price. A Uruguayan national, he has Spanish and Italian citizenship and would not occupy an extra-EU slot. Making his place according to calciomercato.com reports could be Matteo Gabbia, who is close to a loan departure to a Serie A club.

Milan is also sitting at the table with the Spaniards for midfielder Yunus Musah, who would be the third midfield swoop after Loftus-Cheek and Reijnders. The Diavolo is ready to raise by tweaking upward the initial offer of 13 million euros plus 4 million in bonuses.

Still in Spain, the Rossoneri are also not losing sight of the road leading to Villarreal winger Chukwueze: Pioli is pressing for the player, but at the moment the 35 million euros demanded by the Iberians is too much.
