Why Kulusevski is the cure for two Milan problem positions

Dejan Kulusevski would be an ideal signing for Milan, as while Juventus clearly don’t know what to do with him, the Swede would shine both on the right and behind the strikers to replace Brahim Diaz.

The latest reports are growing that Juve have proposed Kulusevski to Milan, although much will depend on whether the Rossoneri are prepared to accept a loan with obligation to buy rather than a pure option.

After all, the Bianconeri invested €35m to sign him from Atalanta, when he was still playing on loan at Parma, and failed to get anything out of him.

Much like Federico Bernardeschi, Juventus have messed Kulusevski about in various different roles and tactical systems, failing to make the most of his versatility, instead using him as some sort of stop-gap in emergencies.

While the 21-year-old has most excelled at Parma playing on the right wing, that is where Milan would presumably use him as a counter-balance to the left-sided attacking dominance of Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez.

However, Kulusevski has been saying for years that his favourite position is that of trequartista behind the strikers, a role where nobody seems eager to use him.

Considering Brahim Diaz has gone completely off the boil this season and sapped Milan of creativity or pacey attacks in the process, Kulusevski can bring a fresh of breath air.

He’d also be working to provide service for fellow Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic and be a lot less predictable than the Spain international, who seems rather one-note in his passing options.
