Milan: Allegri's project between Modric, Xhaka and young talents

For Milan there is a green line to rediscover, to rebuild. The new project of Max Allegri will start again from an experienced midfield, the one with Luka Modric and believably Xhaka granite. As mentioned in recent days, the Swiss player from Leverkusen is the first target of the Rossoneri club and would be ready to say yes: now an agreement is missing between the clubs for a figure of around 18 million euros, guaranteeing the Germans a minimum capital gain. Perhaps by including in the negotiation Malick Thiaw, an old hobby of the former German champions, especially in the Xabi Alonso era.

But not only that. With Milan Futuro destined for Serie D at the end of a season that represents an epochal failure, the new course must necessarily pass through elements that are futuristic and to be developed. Assets to be set up, to use a term very dear to American funds, starting from well-defined projects for Francesco Camarda (for which Milan Futuro had been built, except for missing the minimum attendances for the playouts), Mattia Liberali e Davide Bartesaghi. Fundamental aspect: understanding for all three, and not only, the real future at the highest levels. The Milan of the late 80s, like that of the beginning of the millennium, started from a solid Italian base that in recent times the Portello club has forgotten, becoming a prerogative of Antonio Conte's Inter first and Simone Inzaghi later.

Not that the Italian one should be the only front, and so here are the negotiations for Kevin Pasalic e Ayyoub Bouaddi. For the Bosnian central defender born in 2007 of Norrköping, the aim is to close in the next few days in order to anticipate Roma. 195 centimeters tall, his physicality and reading of the game are his strong points. A defender of setting up that today, in the squad, is a quality unique to Gabbia.

Then, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Lille midfielder: another born in 2007, not yet eighteen, but with a very respectable international curriculum. Refined technique, mature vision of the game, veteran temperament: many top European clubs are scrutinizing his talent. His candidacy for Milan was recently confirmed, with interest from both Allegri and sporting director Tare, who rarely focus on such young talents. Dynamic, capable of covering the entire pitch, gifted with fluid and incisive dribbling in recovery and insertion phases. A perfect “box-to-box“ for Allegri's rhythms and fast schemes. A prospect to grow with patience, but with possible spaces in the immediate future. Between experience and youth, the new Milan is being built now. And San Siro could soon speak the language of tomorrow's talents.
