Milan on Hermoso
After concluding the operation for the return of Alvaro Motata to Italy, AC Milan è also went back to work to reinforce the other departments of the squad available to Paulo Fonseca. In the course of the Madrid blitza for the Spanish striker, in fact, the Rossoneri would lay the groundwork for a strike in defense as well.
According to reports from "Sky Sport", the meneghini have reportedly made an initial enquiry for Mario Hermoso, a 1993-class defender who has just been released by Atletico Madrid. Milan executives, should the negotiations for Red Bull Salzburg’s Strahinja Pavlovic fail, may decide to sink the blow for the 29-year-old Spaniard.
The main obstacles, however, would be competition from Inter and Napoli and the high demand of the player, who demands a contract of at least three years around 5 million euros net per season. The Nerazzurri, for their part, would have defiled in the race, since they would aim at a younger profile, vice versa the Neapolitans would be very active on the player and contacts would already have been initiated to try to find an agreement in principle. The team coached by Antonio Conte, however, would be looking first to place some redundancies, so as to make room for the former Atletico Madrid player.
In addition to the reinforcement in defense, Milan would be ready to close for the midfield coup, where the most appreciated profile è that of Youssouf Fofana from Monaco, with whom an agreement would already have been reached on the basis of a five-year contract. The last obstacle to the proverbial white smoke would be the distance between the demand of the Principality's club and the Rossoneri's offer.
