Milan given red alert as Ligue 1 midfielder leaves Club for free

New Milan manager Paulo Fonseca is on edge after his former Lille pupil Yusuf Yazici announced he leaves France. The Portuguese manager is very familiar with the versatile attacker’s qualities and is reportedly considering bringing him to San Siro.

Yazici wasn’t always Fonseca’s first choice at Lille. However, the Turkish international played 42 games last season and scored 12 goals. With Fonseca gone, the 27-year-old is ready to start a new chapter in his career. Coincidentally, Milan could offer an opportunity.

Now that he is a free agent, Yazici would not cost a cent. Therefore, Milan could seriously consider him. The Turkish attacking midfielder could be enthusiastic about continuing his career in Serie A. However, it largely depends on the system that Fonseca will implement in Lombardy.

Signing an attacking midfielder is not a priority for Milan. They are ready to find a reliable replacement for Olivier Giroud, who has moved to Los Angeles FC. While they pursue a deal for Bologna talent Joshua Zirkzee, the 19-time Italian champions are scouring the market for a new holding midfielder.

It is said that Yacine Adli could leave Milan in the coming months. In addition, Ismael Bennacer’s injury-proneness forces the Rossoneri to strengthen their midfield options. There are already several names on the club’s shortlist.

Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana is one of the main targets for Milan. But competition for the 25-year-old’s signature is fierce. Outgoing Juventus stalwart Adrien Rabiot could be a cheaper alternative. But although the Rossoneri Although they would not have to pay a transfer fee, they would still have to offer the Frenchman a lucrative contract to lure him to San Siro.
