Milan’s “low-cost” option to reinforce their midfield

AC Milan continue their search for reinforcements in midfield and have their sights set on Brazilian Danilo, currently at Nottingham Forest. With the transfer market moving forward, Paulo Fonseca continues to work to strengthen his squad, especially in an area of ​​the pitch that requires more solidity and creativity.

Despite exploring options such as AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Koné, high economic demands have complicated these negotiations. Both players are priced at around €30 million, a figure Milan are unwilling to pay given their cap of €25 million, including variables.

Danilo, a low-cost option for Milan’s midfield

In this context, Danilo emerges as a viable alternative. According to Matteo Moretto, Milan have started talks with Nottingham Forest in recent days to explore the possibility of signing the Brazilian midfielder. Danilo, who was acquired by the English club in January 2023 for 20 million euros from Palmeiras, has shown himself to be a reliable player with potential.

The 23-year-old made 34 competitive appearances in his first Premier League season, contributing three goals and two assists, numbers that helped Nottingham Forest maintain their status.

Milan’s interest in Danilo is driven by the possibility of completing the deal for under €25 million, making him a more affordable option within the Rossoneri’s budget. Furthermore, there is speculation that the Italian club could try to secure his arrival via a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season, a strategy that would allow them to assess his performance before making a permanent investment. With time running out, Milan must act quickly if they are to secure this important midfield reinforcement.
