AC Milan interested in 4 Atalanta players

After Conti and Kessie, AC Milan could be back in business with Atalanta. The Rossoneri are interested in 4 Atalanta players.

Another player that Milan like a lot is the Slovenian midfielder Josip Ilicic. The 31 year old former Fiorentina was without a doubt Atalanta’s best player against Milan and the one who provided the winning assist for Freuler.

The left-footed fantasista has quality and physical strength that could be useful to the Rossoneri cause. The management sees him as a perfect reinforcement if the Rossoneri had to give up one between the disappointing Castillejo and Calhanoglu.

Ilicic has made 18 Serie A appearances so far. He has scored 7 goals and has offered 5 assists for his teammates. Just like Castagne’s, even his contract expires in one year.

AC Milan currently do not play with an attacking midfielder but Ilicic could offer additional choices to coach Gennaro Gattuso. The Slovenian can also be deployed as second striker or right winger.
