Milan Eyeing Former Lille Player Yusuf YaziciMilan Eyeing Former Lille Player Yusuf Yazici New Milan manager Paulo Fonseca is reportedly interested in bringing in midfielder Yusuf Yazici, his former pupil at Lille. Yazici recently announced his departure from France. Yazici, 27, played 42 times for Lille last season, scoring 12 goals. He is now a free agent and would therefore represent a cost-effective option for Milan. However, signing an attacking midfielder is not a priority for the Rossoneri, who are primarily focused on finding a replacement for departing striker Olivier Giroud. Milan is also looking for a new controlling midfielder. Youssouf Fofana of Monaco and former Juventus player Adrien Rabiot have been linked with Milan. However, competition for their signatures is fierce, and a transfer would come at a cost. Yazici could be an alternative option if Milan wants to avoid a transfer fee. He is familiar with Fonseca’s system and has proven his versatility and goal-scoring ability. Whether or not Milan ultimately makes a move for Yazici will likely depend on the system Fonseca implements at the club and the availability of other targets.
New Milan manager Paulo Fonseca is on edge after his former Lille pupil Yusuf Yazici announced he is leaving France. The Portuguese manager knows the qualities of the versatile attacker well and is reportedly considering bringing him to San Siro.
Yazici wasn’t always Fonseca’s first choice at Lille. The Turkish international made 42 appearances last season, scoring 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 a free agent, Yazici wouldn’t cost a cent. That’s why Milan could seriously consider him. The Turkish attacking midfielder could be keen to continue his career in Serie A. However, it largely depends on the system 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 gone to Los Angeles FC. As they pursue a deal for Bologna talent Joshua Zirkzee, the 19-time Italian champions are scouring the market for a new controlling midfielder.
It has been said 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 Milan’s top targets. But competition for the 25-year-old’s signature is fierce. Departing Juventus stalwart Adrien Rabiot could be a cheaper alternative. But while the Rossoneri If they were to avoid a transfer fee, they would still have to offer the Frenchman a lucrative contract to lure him to San Siro.
