MN: Adli in difficult position – Saudi Arabia, France and Italy but ‘nothing concrete’

This summer, Yacine Adli was deemed surplus to requirements before any reinforcements even arrived at AC Milan. However, there has been no movement.

For a player like Adli to have interest in him, it is not a shock. However, there is a difference between interest and action, unfortunately. There was, of course, some action earlier in the window, but the Frenchman opted against a move to Russia.

Since then, there has been a stream of interested parties, but there has been no movement.

Adli’s situation

This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) wrote that there is now interest from Saudi Arabia in the midfielder, which opens up a new avenue. However, he has not made up his mind about a potential move to the Middle East.

Alongside this, there remains interest from France and Serie A. In fact, Sassuolo have verbally admitted theirs. Though they too have not made any movement so far. So, this is where the problem lies.

Right now, there is nothing concrete about an exit for Adli, who has been available since before the mercato even opened, with Fiorentina not opting to make use of their buy option in the loan deal. It has been a good summer for Milan, but it could be better with moves like Adli’s departure.
