The last three weeks left in the summer window, AC Milan's redundant staff cleaning work has begun to speed up. After introducing three new midfielders, Moussa's probability of leaving the team has increased significantly. Fortunately, Americans do not lack suitors in the transfer market. Nottingham Forest plans to offer a quotation of 30 million euros, and Naples is also preparing to rejoin the competition.

With the full end of the preseason, AC Milan coach Allegri also has basic ideas for the tactical style and lineup composition of the new season. In addition to introducing a group of new players, many old players are also facing the fate of being cleaned up, among which the most redundant players are in the midfield. After signing in Modric, Richie and Ashari, Milan has as many as 9 midfielders. In addition to the above three new players, Chik and Fofana are also confirmed to stay in the team. Bennaser, Adrie, Bondo and Moussa are all targets to be cleaned up. Among them, the sales work of Ben 4 and the political commissar are progressing slowly. Bondo has negotiated with Cremona, and Moussa is expected to become the highest selling price.

Musa joined Milan from Valencia in the summer of 2023 for nearly 22 million euros. Although Pioli, Fonseca and Concesan are all interested in cultivating him, this American young player always gives people the feeling that he is brave and lacks football business. Especially last season, he made mistakes in key games, which indirectly led to Milan's missed the Champions League group stage and directly qualifying.

This summer window, Mousa naturally became the team's cleanup target. What is surprising is that Americans are still a hot commodity in the transfer market. There may be two reasons: one is that the players have outstanding physical fitness and are innately good. The other is that the age of 22 is still very malleable, and the right coach is expected to be improved.

Naples was the team that first came into contact with Moussa. Conte appreciated his physical confrontation and running vitality, and was a good all-rounder from a technical and tactical perspective. In June, Napoli offered a total price of 25 million euros to buy Moussa, but was rejected by Milan, and the transaction has since stagnated.

Recently, Nottingham Forest from the Premier League has shown a strong interest in Moussa. According to transfer expert Romano, Forest is preparing to offer a quotation of 25-26 million pounds (about 28.5-30 million euros) for the Arsenal youth training player, which basically met Milan's psychological expectations.

At present, Milan sports director Tare has come to England with the team and is handling three transactions simultaneously. One is the finishing work of Jaf's transfer to Newcastle; the second is to discuss matters related to loaning Hoylen with Manchester United; and the third is to conduct detailed negotiations with the Forest management on Moussa's deal.

It is worth mentioning that Naples also rekindled against Mousa, and because their 14 million euro offer Mireti was rejected by Juventus, they will turn to chase Mousa again. According to the Milan Sports newspaper, the new offer for Naples is 22 million euros plus a bonus. Although this price is not much competitive, Mousa himself prefers to play for Conte's team.

For Milan, Moussa's valuation is 30 million euros. If the offer is too low, they would rather keep it for their own use. Because judging from the preseason performance, Moussa is still not satisfactory. She scored a glorious goal against Perth, had several beautiful breakthroughs with Leeds United, and had strong defensive hardness when confronting Chelsea. Compared to Bennaser and Adrie, Allegri can accept the training of the young American international.
