AC Milan's scouting department are active in England, Spain, Belgium and France, looking for players who fit Ruben Amorim's footballing philosophy. One priority for next season is to find a player who could take over from Luka Modric: the Croatian legend's contract expires in July 2027, and he will decide for himself whether to continue at AC Milan.
According to information obtained, three players have attracted considerable interest from AC Milan's transfer team. One is Alex Scott of Bournemouth, who has impressed across the Premier League. Arsenal and Chelsea have already made moves for him. Born in 2003, Scott has joined the England set-up because head coach Thomas Tuchel rates him highly. But there is a significant obstacle: the Cherries value him highly. In England, there is talk of a €100 million valuation.
More recently, attention has turned to Yasin Ayari of Brighton. The versatile midfielder performs at a high level both as a holding midfielder and behind the centre-forward. The Swede could prove a great opportunity because his contract expires in June 2027, although the English club have the option to extend it unilaterally until 2028.
Another name on AC Milan's directors' list is Adem Zorgane, an Algerian born in 2006 who plays for Union-Saint Gilloise and combines physical strength with good technical ability. AC Milan's scouts have watched several Union Saint Gilloise matches, also to assess Senegalese defender Sylla.
Union-Saint Gilloise start their moves through Zorgane, a modern midfielder who uses his physical strength and passing ability to good effect in possession. He can play in front of the defence as a holding midfielder or make forward runs from central midfield. Without the ball, he contributes to the press. His excellent tactical positioning also makes him valuable in transitions.
