Rade Krunic has been heavily linked with a move to Fenerbahce this summer and in the midst of it all, he has played a key role for AC Milan during the pre-season. Stefano Pioli has now hit back at the rumours.
The Bosnian midfielder is clearly at the top of Fenerbahce’s wish list but Milan are keen on keeping him this summer. Gazzetta Dello Sport reported yesterday morning that he already has an agreement with the Turkish side, and in the evening he started against Monza.
When asked about the matter during the post-match press conference, Pioli hit back at some of the rumours that have been floating around. He assured that Krunic remains focused on giving his all for Milan.
“Rumours about Krunic? Do you think I would field a player if he doesn’t train well or has his head somewhere else? Do you think I would do that? He tells me something else based on his attitude. Rade has never been wrong in that sense,” he said as cited by MilanNews.
It remains to be seen how the saga will end but it looks like Krunic will stay at the club, after all. Pioli considers him a very important player and Milan know that it would be hard to find a replacement for the money they would get.
