AC Milan revive talks for midfield target Javi Guerra

AC Milan have resumed their talks to sign Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra this summer.

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

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

Milan have now 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, which had been promised to Guerra’s representatives after a positive meeting.

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

The 22-year-old has featured in 89 games for Valencia, bagging 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 ability to read the game help him stand out defensively.

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

They are planning to offload Yunus Musah, although Napoli’s talks to sign him have collapsed.

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