Benevento seeks to strengthen its attack after promotion to Serie B, focusing on Francesco Ruocco from Mantova.
Oliver Glasner, former Crystal Palace coach, is preparing for a decisive meeting with Milan to discuss the future of the team, in particular after Leao's self-exclusion and the needs of the transfer market.
No celebrations for Oliver Glasner after last Wednesday's Conference League triumph: the now former Crystal Palace coach has spent the last few hours studying Milan. In view of the decisive face-to-face match with Gerry Cardinale, the Austrian coach has prepared a detailed dossier - according to what was reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport - between the offensive system, the topic of the captain's armband and some unknowns in the squad. As well as the requests for the incoming market.
Revolution between the lines In the middle of the pitch a lot revolves around the confirmations (above all Rabiot, who Napoli likes) and the departures of Loftus-Cheek and Fofana, with Jashari ready for a key role and Modric still to be evaluated. On the flanks Glasner would focus on the running of Saelemaekers, Athekame, Bartesaghi and Estupinan, a player who the coach has respected since his time at Brighton and wants to regenerate. Furthermore, the Austrian is not afraid of difficult markets, because during his tenure at Palace he had to deal with the transfers of Olise, Andersen, Eze and Guehi.
The new attack without Leao The offensive department is preparing for a metamorphosis after Rafa Leao's self-exclusion from the Devil. Cardinale wants to protect Pulisic, highly esteemed by the coach, who also has his sights set on Nkunku, his old executioner in the 2022-23 German Cup final. The only current certainty up front is Gimenez, Ibrahimovic's protégé, but Glasner will ask for a double-digit striker and a significant investment in the attacking midfield; However, Milan must hurry, because Bayer Leverkusen is lurking and to beat the German competition, timing and very clear ideas will be needed.
