MN: New contacts made for Fluminense star as Milan seek midfield renovation | OneFootball

As the mercato’s opening approaches, and with rumours of attackers stalling, AC Milan are taking a chance to focus on other areas, and the area in focus currently is the midfield.

This morning, several reports have arisen about the status of Milan’s midfield situation. Change will happen, this much is known, but the extent, currently, is unclear, as some suggestions are in place about a departure, or perhaps two.

However, at least one midfielder will arrive, and the player in the leading position is Youssouf Fofana, who has reportedly given the green light to a deal, and the Rossoneri are seemingly intent on his signing.

Other names remain in contention, though, and in recent days, the name of Andre Trindade has arisen. The Brazilian midfielder currently plays for Fluminense and topped the statistical charts last season.

As Milan News describes him, he is a ‘pure midfielder, with powerful physique’ – a profile which matches the identikit that the Diavolo are infatuated by – and whilst they state there is not much more to him, other players can provide the Yin to his Yang.

Furthermore, the outlet suggests that there have been initial contacts in recent days, and whilst his price tag is around €15 million, the potential entrance of heavyweights like Liverpool could raise the value.
