Krunic seems to be in the middle of things at the moment. First of all, he has found himself at the heart of Pioli’s new look three-man midfield, and then he is also at the centre of a fair bit of transfer speculating.
First it was Fenerbahçe who came in with an offer to give the Bosnian a big pay rise compared to what he earns at Milan, and now it is Lyon who have moved. They watched him against Torino at San Siro on Saturday night and made a €12-13m bid, per MilanNews.
The well-known journalist Carlo Pellegatti spoke during an interview with Radio Rossonera and he was asked what the indiciations were regarding Krunic’s future and his importance to Pioli.
“There is the heavy interest from Lyon, but Milan rejected it [their offer] and have no intention of selling him. Lyon could increase their offer but due to a rule in France they will not be able to offer more than 2 million in wages,” he said.
“The fans who want him to go have understood nothing, Krunic is like Casemiro, for Pioli he is the tip of the balance, he gives you balance.
“Nicolas Dominguez? Against Milan I didn’t see anything of note. But sorry, didn’t you like Krunic in these two games?.”
