Milan, work in progress on the transfer market: Thuram has to decide, he likes Hjulmand from Lecce

Milan – At the Rossoneri there are days of maneuvers and negotiations to give a turning point in the Milan transfer market after the farewells to Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara: the CEO Giorgio Furlani, the area scout leader Geoffrey Moncada and the coach Stefano Pioli they are looking for the ideal players to strengthen a squad that is about to lose several elements who were unconvincing last season. First of all, the Rossoneri management wants to try to win the zero parameters available, and then concentrate on purchasing using the budget made available by the owners.

Kamada and Thuram

Daichi Kamada, Japanese midfielder born in 1996, he is now close to arriving under the Madonnina as Brahim Diaz's heir: as soon as his agents resolve some bureaucratic issues the player will land in Milan to undergo medical examinations and sign a four-year contract worth three million a year, probably at the beginning of July.

Still in negotiation, however, the trail that leads to Marcus Thuram: the French striker born in 1997 is the right piece for the role of center forward as alternative to Olivier Giroud, then considering the upcoming farewells of Rebic and Origi who disappointed expectations last season.

The player is deciding whether to accept the Devil's offer (5 million per season), which guarantees him a front row position as a starter, or that of PSG, who puts 7 million in wages on the table but a secondary role. Thuram, playing this evening with the French national team against Greece, could decide his future in the next few days.

For the AC Milan midfielder, in addition to Kamada, the management is also interested in the 2005 class Arda Guler of Fenerbahce (request 17 million) while for the right lane the name chosen is that of Samuel Chukwueze of Villareal, whose contract expires in 2024. For him the valuation is 25 million but Milan will try to lower the demands of the Spaniards.

Meanwhile the club he counterpaid Lorenzo Colombo from Lecce for 3,5 million euros: in July, when the player, once the European Championships have been played with Italy U21, joins Pioli's group for summer training (meeting set for 10 July), the appropriate assessments will be made to understand whether to keep the attacker or send him out on loan again.

For the midfield, where Yacine Adli, Aster Vranckx and Tiemoué Bakayoko are out, we also aim to Morten Hjulmand, midfielder and captain of Lecce: the Salento players value him at 25 million euros, a figure that the club from via Aldo Rossi would like to cover in part with the inclusion of a technical counterpart, such as the striker Marco Nasti, returning from a season spent in loan to Cosenza.

The CDK node

E The Ketelaere? 35 million paid to secure the Belgian in the last summer transfer session (almost 80% of the entire available budget), zero goals on the scoresheet and only one assist in his 40 seasonal appearances over the entire year: numbers that make you think and which could take the twenty-two year old away from Milan, with the loan formula.

Ma the option of selling the player should not be discarded a priori: CDK has a contract until June 2027 and with a residual balance sheet value of around 28 million, which is why the price price tag set by Furlani and Moncada it could be 28/30 million to get Milan to sit at the negotiating table. Every decision, in any case, will be taken after Charles' adventure at the Under 21 European Championships with Belgium: if the attacking midfielder were to respond positively, the Devil could even think about keeping him.
