Milan are looking for a new Alessio Romagnoli partner and have identified Mateo Musacchio with whom they apparently already reached an agreement.

Cristian Zapata extended his contract until 2019 and Gabriel Paletta is returning from his loan but Milan are seeking for a new face to be Romagnoli’s main partner for next season after Alex left the club.

Di Marzio is reporting that Milan are working on signing Villarreal’s 25-year-old Mateo Musacchio and are willing to offer the Spanish club €18-20 million. The player has an exit clause although there is a bit of confusion over this clause as while Di Marzio writes that it’s a €25m clause, other sources have it at €30m (La Repubblica) and even €50m (Marca).

The Sky Italia journalist claims that Milan already have an agreement with the agent of the Argentine (but has an Italian passport). The alternative is Bayer’s Jonathan Tah (20) while Benatia is unlikely.

Suso892

Zapata should leave, not Paletta!

Silver

He would be very good, altough he is injured alot

Foluso

Why not marquinho of psg or we can get Acerbi back I think he has grown alot and he is tall and giant perfect Alex jr

donmilan

He’s a good player…but injury prone player
Please go to brazil league

This is awesome news!! And btw Galliani is in my hometown, he is seen in Zagreb for Pjaca…

What about Rugani? A future back line of Donnaruma; Calabria, Rugani, Romagnoli, De Sciglio would be great! I’d still be happy with Musacchio.

Really hope we get Kovacic and Pjaca…I think Saponara would fit in well too.

Any chance of Berardi? front line of him and Niang a few years down the line would be awesome.

(4-3-3) Donnaruma; Calabria, Rugani/Musacchio, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Mauri, Kovacic, Bonaventura; Saponara, Bacca/Berardi, Pjaca/Niang .

Juve make Rugani tools to get DeSciglio…. That’s not gonna happen, except Galliani make stupid mistake again

King James

Get this, get that! U just assume clubs will just sell dia best defenders to u? Psg will just sell marquinhos?

Deku

If we don’t try then what’s the point?! We have the money so it’s fair for us to be interested in top players. Neven Suboric wants to leave, Marquinho was turned into a sub at PSG, and there are even more great players like this so it’s highly possible

MaxMilan

Is Musacchio really injury prone or are people saying he is injury prone due to that horrendous injury (can happen to anyone) he suffered at Getafe? If anyone can could confirm this, I’d appreciate it :)

Fantastic player by the way but 50 mil (release clause) is a bit too much maybe? Don’t blame Villareal for asking that much for him though, as there are teams he would splash that money.

Our new coach Montella is going to play whit tree backline so we need to upgrade our central defense and Matteo Mucaccio from Villareal is very good option for our team! We need to upgrade our team nearly every position, but our left side of the field is in place, because we have there Antonelli, DeSiglio, Bonaventura, Niang and new player Vangioni! But we need upgrade our central defense and we only have one good one in Romagnoli so Mucaccio will be a very good upgrade to our central back tree, but i would be happy if we can get… Read more »

Juve want De Sciglio for Rugani.. i will say no to that… cuz De Sciglio is more versatile and a utility player than Rugani……. Leverkusen Tah is the right man, he plays like Thiago Silva and also young and good in the air… Enough all this reunion with old age fiorentina players being linked

Mattia

This kind of OOT but I’m really afraid Milan will sell de Sciglio. I think it’s very likely that Milan will sell him. And it’s getting worse if it’s to Juve. He might be the vice-captain for Milan next season. He’s even the only one who deserves to be captain. I hope someone could tell Galliani not to sell de Sciglio.

Apparently Galliani came back from Zagreb with Pjaca’s agent in tow. This deal may be concluded today. More to come

Milanista121

I read that his agent said that we (Milan) have the upper hand, but we need to cough up the money, in which he is right about. Didnt know both of them came back to town together…. I hope they’ll conclude it asap, we need to act fast this market.

Good player. I just really wish ely got another chance. Feel really bad for him

Milanista121

Have people actually seen him play or are you just saying that he is good? I’m really curious, I have no idea about him, I thought tht he was error prone but people seem to hype him a lot. Is he worth the hype? What are his best defensive skills? is he fast? great positioning? Would appreciate if someone could get me up to speed about him.

Kourosh

I never really trust a player after such a horrible injury. It’s not just that the leg won’t be the same, it’s also the fear that will stay with the player for the rest of his life and you bet he’s gonna go into some challenges half-hearted. We should try for Rugani. With Benatia signing for Juve he’s gonna want to leave and he can be bought for the right price. The idea of two great but inexperience center-backs is risky but interesting. They are already the Italian under 21 pairing and could be the future of the senior team,… Read more »

Donsky

Fast, good tackling, good technique and passing…only injury prone. I hope he stay healthy when he joint Milan.

Donnnaruma; Abate, Musacchio, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Kucka, Kovacic, Bonaventura; Yarmolenko, Bacca, Pjaca .

Musacchio is a good option for us to partner Romagnoli in our central defense! But Mustafi from Valencia is very good option also! If we are sending Mastour to loan on Zwolle in Holands league, then we must put some kind of buyback option on that loan deal, because he is still our best prospects and he still have Italian citysenship so we must not lose him for nearly nothing like we did on Saponara”s case and we lost him to Empoli for nearly nothing!
