Top 5 Lille stars Luis Campos could bring at Milan

The likely appointment of Luis Campos as AC Milan sporting director could be accompanied by the arrival of several Lille stars at San Siro.

CDM – THIAGO MENDES

The AC Milan midfield will be the department that will undergo a total overhaul this summer. Jose Mauri, Bertolacci and former captain Montolivo will leave on a free transfer. Bakayoko will return to Chelsea while the future of Kessie and Biglia is still unclear.

Luis Campos, or Leonardo if he stays, will be very busy on the transfer market signing many midfielders. If there is a type of player that Milan absolutely need then that is Thiago Mendes.

The Brazilian defensive midfielder has been one of the best players in France this season. He is 27-years-old so his age may be a bit of a problem for the philosophy of Ivan Gazidis but he totally makes up for that in quality. The perfect replacement for Bakayoko.

Thiago Mendes costs 25 million euros and is one of Lille’s most in-demand players. His teammate Thiago Maia could be an cheaper alternative. The young Brazilian is 22 and has been linked with AC Milan in the past.
