Report: ‘A-level’ Endrick, Karetsas and Hutchinson – Milan’s search for an attacking midfielder concludes

This has been a big summer for AC Milan, but some feel that the club haven’t fully achieved what they had hoped with the lack of an ‘A-level’ midfielder.

Although more than €150 million has been spent by Milan, there are still a few question marks about the mercato. After all, the much-needed No.10 position has not yet been filled – or at least it hasn’t been until Omari Hutchinson officially joins the club.

The No.10 targets

Speaking on his X account, @FootballKush was quizzed on the mercato for the No.10 position, mainly focusing on the right side.

Antonio Belloni, a journalist for MilanVibes, questioned why an ‘A-level’ player hadn’t been signed despite Ruben Amorim’s desire to add a player with this profile all summer. In fact, he named Konstantinos Karetsas as a player in this category.

Kush then replied that someone of the ‘A-Level’ was targeted, but not achieved. It wasn’t Karetsas, too, with the Greek only wanting Borussia Dortmund. When asked who that A-level target was, he confirmed that it was Endrick.

Of course, given his strike rate this summer and the other reports, it is believable that this was the case.

The interesting part, though, is where he mentions Hutchinson: ‘Milan just couldn’t land that A-level player, but Hutchinson was also always part of their list from the beginning and now the loan gives them a chance to evaluate him’.
