Reports: Milan begin contact with Bologna over 22-year-old midfielder – the latest

AC Milan, this morning, have begun talks with Bologna regarding a move for their midfielder, Giovanni Fabbian. 

There were several errors with Milan on Saturday night. They were poor when it mattered defensively, and they had no attacking output. However, there was another big issue which needs fixing quickly, and that regards the midfield.

Luka Modric was a standout, but he was a little wasted in a deeper role. Ultimately, the Croatian was not able to pick apart the opposition from his deeper role. Nevertheless, with two other players ahead of him, there should have been no issue. Yet, there was.

A new midfielder?

So, off the back of that result, Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare met at Casa Milan to discuss the end of the mercato, and there have been a few ideas since. One was a new striker, one was a new defender, and the third was a new midfielder arriving.

Today, then, the Rossoneri have made contact with Bologna, per Pietro Balzano Prota, regarding a move for their midfielder Giovanni Fabbian.

Though Matteo Moretto adds to this information, suggesting that it is not exploratory, with an official bid being considered within the next few hours. The Italian’s arrival would be seen as an opportunity to strengthen the midfield.
