Deal agreed for Milan misfit’s exit but crucial hurdle remains
Deal agreed for Milan misfit’s exit but crucialhurdle remains
AC Milan have reportedly agreed a deal with Besiktas for the exit of Fode Ballo-Toure, but the player has yet to green light the move.
The 27-year-old arrived from Monaco in 2021,
and he has since gone on to make just 26
appearances for the club having primarily been
used as back-up behind Theo Hernandez.
It was decided to demote him to Milan Futuro
rather than keep him in Paulo Fonseca’s senior
squad this summer because he hasn’t fully
wowed or convinced when participating either.
This resulted in a loan stint with Fulham last
season. Fabrizio Romano claims that the
Rossoneri and Besiktas have reached an
agreement for the Senegalese international to go
on. In turn, it’s evident from the club’s
standpoint that they’re prepared to let him go
and bolster the team in that area with a better
choice.But he hasn’t always wowed or convinced,
and that resulted in a season-long loan at
Fulham last season. He does point out that
Ballo-Toure has not yet reached a personal
agreement with the Turkish team and would
prefer to return to England, so there’s a chance
that this could cause more complications for him
in the future. It would be ideal if he could come
to an agreement with Besiktas to finalize his
departure, but in the event that this isn’t feasible,
it’s hoped that English teams will express interest
and submit a reasonable offer that Milan will
accept. Milan has a busy summer ahead of them
as Fonseca tries to make the team his own. We
need to improve in a few areas and at the very
least increase the level of competition by adding
more players. That is definitely the case for the
full-back positions. Hernandez is expected to
play a key role for Fonseca, but if we want to
contend on multiple fronts this season, we need
to have quality depth to give the Milan manager
time off and rotate, and Ballo-Toure is obviously
not up to par. Though only time will tell how
things turn out, it would appear that agreeing on
an exit sooner rather than later would be in
everyone’s best interests.
