Given Sergio Conceicao’s arrival at AC Milan it was just a matter of time before Porto players were linked, and Alan Varela is the latest.

It is well known that Milan are looking for a new central midfielder to bolster the depth in the department, given that Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders continue to start every game without getting a break.

This constant working of overtime has perhaps been a contributing factor in their decline in performances in the past few games. However, as Sky (via MilanNews) report, the main investment on a new midfielder seems to be geared towards the summer.

Indeed, the directors are looking at one of Conceicao’s old favourites in Alan Varela. He is a target for the summer, especially because at this stage it would be difficult to get a good deal with the Portuguese club.

This season Varela has taken to the field 21 times in total: 16 appearances in the league and five in the Europa League. During his time with Conceicao he made 43 appearances, also amassing three goals and two assists.

The 23-year-old predominantly plays as a defensive midfielder but can be used as a mezzala (box-to-box player) too. The report goes on to mention that Samuele Ricci of Torino is also a name that remains on the list.
