Milan transfers: Positive Xhaka talks, two replacements for Reijnders | OneFootball

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have held positive talks with Granit Xhaka’s entourage and have identified Ardon Jashari and Javi Guerra as potential Tijjani Reijnders’ replacements.

Milan are making drastic changes to their midfield. They’ve sold Reijnders to Manchester City and are nearing an agreement with Napoli over Yunus Musah’s transfer to the Stadio Maradona.

Football Italia can confirm that the Rossoneri coach, Max Allegri, has also held talks with Adrien Rabiot; however, the French midfielder remains unconvinced about leaving Marseille.

As per Gazzetta, Milan are also moving forward with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Xhaka.

The Rossoneri have held positive talks with the agents of the Swiss international, but they must convince Bayer to sell one of their leaders, who still has three years left on his contract.

Oddly, one of Xhaka’s possible heirs in the Swiss national team, Ardon Jashari, is also on the Rossoneri’s radars. Under contract with Club Brugge until 2029, Milan believe Jashari would be an asset for the club, who will hopefully increase his value at the club, similarly to Reijnders.

The same is true of Valencia’s  Javi Guerra. According to Gazzetta, the 22-year-old is slightly cheaper than Jashari and the Rossoneri have already held preliminary talks.
