Milan identify Abate and Antonelli replacement
Massimiliano Mirabelli in recent weeks has scouted several players, possible targets of AC Milan for the next summer transfer window.
Sure of their stay in Rossonero, except clamorous implications, are the two full backs Rodriguez and Calabria, and obviously Andrea Conti, who is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury of last September. The former Atalanta will be a pillar of the team for next season. In the case of the sale of one between Abate or Antonelli – with the high possibility that both are sold – AC Milan will obviously have to intervene on the market. The name at the top of the list is Ludwig Augustinsson, reports calciomercato.com.
The 23 year old left back plays for Werder Bremen and is of Swedish nationality. In this season in Bundesliga he has already collected 18 appearances. Last summer the Germans purchased him from Copenhagen for around 4.5 million euros. Currently his market value has tripled, so about 15 million euros would be needed to sign him. The situation in the ranking of his club, however, is not so positive, and this could affect the eventual transfer of the player and his price tag.
AC Milan and Massimiliano Mirabelli have studied the situation. A new fullback will surely arrive next season and the Swedish international is the favorite to join the Rossoneri. The red and blacks sports director has been convinced by his performances and is preparing a bid. Another important investment for the future.
