Recently, AC Milan's moves to strengthen their midfield have been highly anticipated, especially in the search for young and promising players. Although they haven't made much noise in the market, the behind-the-scenes operations are far from simple. They have targeted several young midfielders, each with significant potential.
The hottest target at the moment is undoubtedly Bondo from Monza. As a 21-year-old French youngster, he has aroused strong interest from the Rossoneri. His performance at Monza quickly made him a priority transfer target for Milan. In fact, Bondo's technical style fits well with the qualities Milan seeks in a midfielder. He not only possesses excellent passing vision but also poses a threat in attack. For Milan, such a young and promising player is undoubtedly an ideal addition to the future midfield. Especially considering that he is a member of the French U20 team, his experience is not completely lacking, which is significant for Milan's future squad construction.
In addition to Bondo, Milan has also set its sights on two other young players. Bellayane from Verona and Gurna-Duarte from Red Bull Salzburg are also under consideration by Milan. Bellayane is only 20 years old, and although Milan's current interest in him is relatively lukewarm, he proactively recommended himself to Milan through a transfer intermediary, showing that he hasn't given up on this opportunity. Bellayane has great technical potential, and despite Milan's conservative attitude towards him, his joining is still something to look forward to.
Compared to Bellayane, Gurna-Duarte's situation is more complicated. The 21-year-old French U21 international has been a long-term focus of AC Milan director Montacada. Judging from his performance at Red Bull Salzburg, Gurna-Duarte possesses outstanding ball control skills and a keen eye for reading the game, qualities that Milan's midfield urgently needs. His performance over the past few seasons has been very stable, and as a young player, he has already demonstrated his abilities on the European stage.
Although the three players are roughly the same age, the clubs they play for and the league environments they are in are different, which presents some considerations for Milan when choosing. Monza's Bondo is clearly the current first choice, as his performance in Serie A has been outstanding, which is a big plus for Milan. In contrast, while Bellayane and Gurna-Duarte also have great potential, the leagues and competitive environments they are in differ from Bondo's, and Milan may need more time to observe their performances.
It must be said that Milan's strengthening strategy has always been based on young players, especially in the key midfield position. Whether it's Bondo, Bellayane, or Gurna-Duarte, Milan seems to want to lay a solid foundation for the future by bringing in these young players. The introduction of young players often means higher returns and longer growth space, and Milan clearly sees the huge potential these players could bring in the future.
Whether Milan will further increase their attention to these three players remains to be seen, depending on the team's transfer trends and market dynamics in the coming months. Some netizens even say, "Milan has been trying to build a young and dynamic team. I wonder if these three can quickly integrate into the team, after all, Milan has its own way of cultivating young players." This reflects people's expectations for Milan's future development.
Clearly, Milan's emphasis on young players has also filled fans with confidence. On the other hand, there are also netizens who hold different opinions: "Out of the three, I personally think Bondo is the best fit for Milan. His performance in Serie A has proven his abilities. As for the other two players, I feel like Milan's interest isn't clear enough." Although Milan has been exploring other possibilities, judging from the current situation, Bondo seems to be more attractive.
AC Milan is moving towards a direction full of potential in strengthening their midfield. Although the current targets are clear, with changes in the market and competition from other teams, whether Milan can successfully bring in these young players remains uncertain. However, one thing is for sure: the names of these three players have already left a deep impression on Milan fans' hearts, and the transfer market in the coming months will undoubtedly be full of anticipation.
