AC Milan revive talks for midfield target Javi Guerra

AC Milan have resumed their talks to sign Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra this summer, reports journalist Matteo Moretto.

Milan’s pursuit of Guerra was at a standstill after their offer worth €20 million was turned down by the La Liga club.

The Rossoneri shifted their focus towards Club Brugge’s Ardon Jashari, but their offers haven’t matched the Belgian club’s valuation. A deal for the Swiss star is on the verge of falling through.

Therefore, Milan have revived their interest in Guerra. They are working to secure personal terms with the Spaniard before proceeding with talks with Valencia.

They are confident of securing the midfielder’s green light due to the lack of a concrete renewal offer from Valencia, something they had promised Guerra’s entourage after a positive meeting.

Guerra’s situation could also interest Premier League giants Manchester United, who have been keeping tabs on him this summer.

The Mestalla graduate has stood out for Valencia in their difficult times, rising in stature as one of La Liga’s most promising midfield talents.

The 22-year-old has featured in 89 games for Che, netting eight goals and four assists. He was also part of the Spanish national team that reached the quarter-finals of the U-21 European Championship last month.

Guerra is an all-action midfielder who excels in ball-carrying and attacks the box frequently to take more shots. His physicality and reading of the game help him stand out defensively.

Having signed Samuele Ricci and Luka Modric, Milan are looking for more midfield reinforcements in this window.

Meanwhile, they are planning to offload Yunus Musah, however, Napoli’s talks to sign the United States midfielder have collapsed.

The Rossoneri are also prioritising a new striker, identifying Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund as a potential target.
