Moretto: ‘In constant contact’ – Milan ‘closing in’ on signing of Monza star

In a surprise twist late in the January transfer window, AC Milan are now close to closing a deal for Warren Bondo with AS Monza.

There are some fireworks on the final day of the window as Ismael Bennacer apparently wants to leave, which has irritated that Milan management because of the timing, and because of how Marseille have handled things, according to Calciomercato.com.

Thus, there has been a late scramble to try and find a replacement for Bennacer, who was actually wanted by Marseille on deadline day in the summer transfer window too. It is not an ideal situation to be in, because the directors now risk keeping an ‘unhappy’ player.

According to what is being reported by Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Milan are attempting to close a deal for Bondo right at the end of the winter mercato. There are ‘constant contacts’ with Monza to try and get everything agreed.

As a reminder, Milan have been linked with Bondo for over three years now. The first bits of speculation emerged back in the summer of 2021 but instead he chose Monza in 2023. His agent confirmed that the Rossoneri were advanced in talks, yet game time was important in the end.
