AC Milan is gearing up for a major midfield shake-up this summer, with the Serie A giants setting their sights on two exciting young talents—Valencia's Javi Guerra and Sassuolo's Canadian star Ismael Koné—while preparing to part ways with up to four current midfielders.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri have kept a close eye on Guerra throughout the 2025-26 season. The Spanish midfielder was a top target last summer before signing a contract extension with Valencia through 2029, but Milan's interest hasn't cooled. They've continued scouting the 21-year-old, who brings energy and creativity to the center of the park.
Alongside Guerra, Milan is also pursuing Koné, the Canada international who has been turning heads at Sassuolo with six Serie A goals this campaign. The report suggests Sassuolo could be open to a player-plus-cash deal, potentially involving Christian Comotto (currently on loan at Spezia) or young starlet Francesco Camarda.
These moves come as Milan prepares for a significant midfield overhaul. Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are both expected to leave San Siro this summer, while Warren Bondo, Ismael Bennacer, and Yunus Musah are set to return from loan spells. However, Bondo and Bennacer could be put on the market, with Musah's versatility potentially earning him a stay.
Adding intrigue to the mix, Milan is waiting on Luka Modric's decision about his future. The Croatian legend has been a key figure this season, and the club hopes he'll commit to one more year in the red and black. With this blend of young blood and veteran experience, Milan's midfield is poised for a fresh identity next season.
