Samuel Chukwueze is one of AC Milan’s top market signings, but the Rossoneri risked losing him due to unexpected interference from Al-Nassr.
Rudy Galetti, journalist and television pundit for TV dello Sport and Sky Sport, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about the Milan market and reveal a backstory involving Al-Nassr, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and Brozovic.
“We could talk about an attempted snatch by Al-Nassr from AC Milan,” the journalist told. “The Rossoneri were following Chukwueze. And Al-Nassr were also interested in Chukwueze, in the sense that they had put him on their list. By the time it did, however, the deal was practically closing with AC Milan, who moved much earlier, so there was nothing to be done…”
After revealing this market backstory, the journalist focused on the Rossoneri club’s possible new inbound moves, specifying that as of today the management’s priority is to sell redundancies. “Musah is in the details, but this year’s market, once Tonali left, has seen so many new signings and now it’s almost over. “

The journalist has therefore confirmed that Yunus Musah is closer to Milan: the American from Valencia could arrive soon. Valencia have in fact lowered their demands in the last few hours and Milan, if they want, can make the final lunge. “How much can we close at? 20 million can be a reasonable target”.

“The main focus will be on the exits,” explained Galetti. “I don’t understand how we can still complain about shortcomings. An AC Milan fan has to be happy. Many interesting players have arrived.”
The journalist then revealed that a vice-Theo Hernandez could still arrive. There has long been talk of Calafiori from Basel or Pellegrini. And also in contention are Rogerio and Ruggeri.
“The problem at the moment is that Ballo-Touré has no intention of leaving. So you first have to convince the player to accept another project after he has already turned down Fulham. It is a similar situation to that of Rebic for Turkey, which is now materialising. Only after these disposals can we invest in the full-back.
Ante Rebic is very much liked by Besiktas, but for now there is only talk of a loan deal with a reduced fee. This would mean for Milan not only selling the player on a free loan but also the burden of having to pay him part of his salary.
