Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have been a bit held back on the mercato due to the takeover negotiations, but they could soon be back in full action. And they have two promising players on their radar.

The players in question are Noa Lang and Charles de Ketelaere, forward respectively attacking midfielder. Both play for Club Brugge and have attracted the interest of Milan thanks to their versatility and quality. In fact, inquiries have been made in the last few months.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (via MilanLive), Maldini likes Lang a lot and talks have already been initiated. With a price tag of €22m, despite scoring seven goals and 12 assists this past season, it would be an affordable investment.

As for de Ketelaere, he’s on the radar of many big clubs after showing great qualities in the Champions League. Milan’s first inquiry confirmed the rumours of a €40m price tag, which is a rather high figure but perhaps doable with RedBird (remains to be seen).

Mike Maignan thanked Inter for their 3-0 win in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg which he said motivated Milan to win Serie A. Inter progressed comfortably to final, having drawn the first leg 0-0, while the title destiny was in their own hands as they sat two points behind Milan but with a game in hand. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Maignan said:

“Thank you to Inter: after the 3-0 we had the bit between our teeth. That defeat really motivated us.”

He added: “When Inter tripped up at Bologna, we knew it was over for them because, by that point, we were focused only on ourselves.”

Despite an impressive season on a personal level where, as well as the Serie A title, Maignan also won the Best Goalkeeper award, there was negative note as Mike was subjected to racist abuse during a match at Cagliari. Asked about the incident, he said:

“It’s something which has been going on for years and I won’t be the last. After Cagliari, I was called in to give my version but nothing happened.
