Milan midfielder Yacine Adli has reportedly been targeted by French side RC Lens to replace Andy Diouf, who was sold to Inter.

It is certainly no secret that the creative midfielder is not part of the Rossoneri’s plans for this season, as he had already spent last term on loan at Fiorentina.

Time is running out to find him a new club, as the transfer deadline in Europe’s top leagues is on September 1.

Adli contract running down at AC Milan

There is another important problem for Milan, as his contract only runs to the end of the current campaign, so loans are out of the question.

The 25-year-old had been purchased from Girondins de Bordeaux for €9m in 2021, remaining in France for one more season on loan.

MilanPress claim that RC Lens have made an approach for Adli and hope he can fill the gap left by the sale of Diouf to Milan’s rivals Inter.

There have also been links for him to stay in Serie A for Sassuolo.
