- AC Milan looking to make new signings
- Chelsea’s Chukwuemeka on the shortlist
- Monaco’s Fofana also atop the list for Fonseca
WHAT HAPPENED?
The former Roma boss officially joined AC Milan as Stefano Pioli’s replacement following another failed title challenge at San Siro. The Rossonerri won the Scudetto in 2021-22 and also reached the semi-final of the Champions League in the next season, however, after an underwhelming season, the top brass thought it was the right time to bring in new energy to the side. Milan are now planning to make new signings for Fonseca.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
As per Gianluca di Marzio, the Rossonerri’s two main targets this summer are AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana and Chelsea star Carney Chukwuemeka. The club’s main target this summer is to improve their midfield and they view the two aforementioned players as a decent enough upgrade to challenge for the Serie A title.
DID YOU KNOW?
If Milan sign Chukwuemeka this summer and bring him to San Siro, he will be reunited with two former Chelsea teammates in the form of Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The trio spent the 2022/23 season together at Stamford Bridge under Graham Potter and interim manager Frank Lampard.
WHAT NEXT FOR MILAN?
If they try to sign the duo this summer, they will have to do so after the European Championship with Fofana away on international duty with France. Meanwhile, they can begin talks with Chelsea for Chukwuemeka.
