Renato Sanchez is one of the main objectives of AC Milan in this summer transfer market after the departure of Franck Kessié was confirmed, who ends his contract in the coming days and will sign as a free agent with FC Barcelona. The Portuguese is the profile that Stefano Pioli and Paolo Maldini like the most to reinforce the midfielder area for next season.
The problem is that, in recent weeks, PSG’s interest in taking over the Portuguese’s services to enhance their area of midfielders has been confirmed and Luis Campos (sports director of the Parisian team) would be close to closing the incorporation. Faced with this situation, the Rossoneri team has another midfielder in its sights: Douglas Luis.
Douglas Luiz, AC Milan’s plan B if the signing of Renato Sanches fails
According to several media outlets in Italy, Milan are very interested in Douglas Luiz to boost their rotation in the midfield area. The Rossoneri team and the Brazilian’s representatives held a summit today to discuss the signing of the footballer in the coming days.
The 24-year-old Aston Villa midfielder would be more than interested in a move to Milan as he is keen on the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League next season and, bearing in mind, he could lose his starting job at the Steven Gerrard’s set with the arrival of Boubacar Kamara as a free agent.
Douglas Luiz is a different midfielder profile than Kessié, but he fits perfectly into Stefano Pioli’s idea of the game and into the club’s transfer policy. It is a movement that can be closed at a fairly low price because he ends his contract in the summer of 2023.
