CM: Bondo to remain in Italy ahead of Cremonese move – why Milan discussion was required

Warren Bondo was due to travel with AC Milan for the friendly games this weekend. However, this has now changed.

With Milan looking fairly stacked in the midfield, there is a need to get the area thinned a little. Yunus Musah could head out to provide some additional funds, though it seems that Massimiliano Allegri does not completely support the idea.

Then, there are Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli, whose fates have already been long decided, thanks to no space being available for them in the midfield. Between them, they could raise more than €20 million.

That leaves Bondo, who only arrived in January and has not made an impact thus far, due to struggling with injuries.

Bondo’s situation

Due to the level of ability in the midfield now, it is difficult to see the Frenchman breaking into the rotation. So, an exit opened up, which could even allow Musah to stay. With this, he has now agreed to move to Cremonese.

Despite this, Daniele Longo reported that the midfielder was set to travel with the Milanese squad for the friendlies against Leeds United and Chelsea. Then, on Tuesday, he would head to Cremona for his medical test.

However, this has now changed. The Calciomercato.com journalist has added that after talks with the Rossoneri, Bondo will remain in Italy over the weekend. Then, he will travel to complete his loan move.
