With Rafael Leao finally heading to either Galatasaray or Aston Villa, Milan are looking towards Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya, also linked with Arsenal.
The final decision will ultimately be up to Leao, because both Galatasaray and Aston Villa are ready to meet the €50m asking price including add-ons.
Now the focus is on finding a suitable replacement who can fit into Ruben Amorim’s formation.
According to Footmercato in France, a big name on the wish list is Eintracht Frankfurt talent Bahoya.
The 21-year-old brings versatility to the table, as he can play on the left wing, as a trequartista behind the striker, or even as a centre-forward.
A product of the Angers youth academy, he was sold to Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2024 for circa €8m.
His contract with the German side runs to June 2029, and there has already been some interest from the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Fenerbahce and Everton.
Bahoya is above all known for his remarkable turn of pace, famously reaching 37km/h when playing in the Bundesliga.
