AC Milan will lose their midfield monsters Franck Kessié of Côte d'Ivoire and Ismael Bennacer of Algeria in January. Both players will be going to the AFCON in Cameroon next January. They will be facing each other in the first round.
In order to anticipate these two departures, which could last a month and at a crucial time of the season, AC Milan are in talks with Chelsea to recruit Tiémoué Bakayoko on a permanent deal. The 27-year-old French midfielder knows the club well. He has, in fact, already spent a season on loan at the Italian club (2019-2020).
