According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are interested in bringing in a new midfielder in the winter transfer window to fill the vacancy due to Ben Nasser's injury and possible long-term absence. Currently, Milan is actively examining and searching for suitable candidates, and they have targeted four players, namely Genoa's Frendrup, Betis's Johnny Cardoso, Chelsea's Chukwuemeka, and Chelsea's old Inter Milan player Kasadayi.
Frendrup, 23, has quickly grown into an absolute mainstay of the team since his January 2022 move to Genoa from Brondby. Not only has he excelled in Serie A, he has also made one appearance for the Danish national team. He is currently valued at €15 million in the German transfer market.
Johnny Cardoso, also 23, holds dual citizenship with the United States and Italy, having moved to Betis from Brazil International in January of this year. An experienced midfielder, he has already made 17 appearances for the US national team. He is currently valued at €25 million.
The 20-year-old Chukwuemeka has been in the scandal with Milan for a long time. The England U20 international has only made one appearance for Chelsea's first team so far this season, but his potential and talent have been widely recognized. He is currently valued at €15 million in the German transfer market.
Casadei, on the other hand, is a player from the Inter Milan youth academy who was brought in by Chelsea in the summer of 2022 for €14.9 million. Although he has only made two appearances for Chelsea's first team so far this season, he still has high hopes as an Italian U21 international. He is currently valued at €10 million.
Each of these four players has their own characteristics, and all of them are potential candidates for Milan's reinforcement in the midfield position. However, the exact choice of players will depend on the actual needs of the team and the specific situation of the transfer market. Milan's management will conduct a more in-depth investigation and evaluation of these four players in the coming time to ensure that they can make the wisest choice after the opening of the winter transfer window.
