Mister X – Who will be AC Milan’s top summer signing

AC Milan have been very active on the transfer market already signing three players but the club is preparing another top level purchase.

Hakan Calhanoglu | AC MILAN

If Milan fail to find a big name on the market, Giampaolo’s plan is to adapt Calhanoglu as regista with Lucas Paqueta serving as attacking midfielder behind the two strikers.

The summer transfer window is long and Calhanoglu represents a plan B for the Red and Blacks. Though Milan are willing to invest for an important name they will do so only under the right conditions and for a fair price.

While finding a location for Suso in Giampaolo’s 4-3-1-2 game system is a difficult feat that can not be said for Calhanoglu. He has the technical qualities required to succeed in this role and take a similar path to Andrea Pirlo.

It has been tried in the past with former coach Gennaro Gattuso but without success. Could Giampaolo be the key? Only time will tell.
