Diario AS: Moncada wants Aston Villa man to begin Milan defensive rebuild

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are preparing for a ‘revolution’ in the summer and they have targeted an Aston Villa centre-back as they look to build for a title charge, a report claims.

According to Diario AS, Milan are preparing for next summer by looking not only at who the head coach might be but also which players could be brought in to plug various holes that currently exist within the squad.

The report mentions firstly that Rafael Leao remains on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar as a replacement for Kylian Mbappé, but Geoffrey Moncada is focusing on signing a new central defender and likes the profile of Diego Carlos.

Pioli has not been able to find the key when it comes to building a solid defence, given that Milan have let in 39 goals in the league, while there have also been repeated injury troubles involving the starters.

Carlos is one of the most liked names among the management but the operation will not be easy. Diego Carlos still has two more years on his contract with the Villains, who will seek to recover part of their investment with his sale.

At 31 years old and after a serious injury, the defender has completed a great season at Aston Villa, being the third most used centre-back by Unai Emery with 2,188 minutes, only behind Ezri Konsa (3,831′) and Pau Torres (2,850′).

  1. So MONEYBALL Moncada is looking to sign a recently injured player who will be turning 32 by the time he joins Milan to “heal” our defense.

    Is it that? Or is it because this guy is cheap and AV are hawking him to any buyer to get him off their payroll.

    I’m going to say this is fake news (as usual per the media) but if it’s really is a Moncada special – then it’s another stupid move on his part.

  2. Don’t bite into this, it’s pure speculation.

    But with all this speculations, it gives us a more clear picture of what kind of targets this management are about.

    Cheap ones.

  3. Diario AS is not exactly your most reliable source, but of course the fans will bite into whatever the media give to them…

    Can’t believe they even believe this sh*te lol.

  4. Fake News. Milan will most likely sign Buongiorno and another CB suck as Maxence Lacroix or Lilian Brassier from Brest.

  5. We have Nsiala and Simic, stop 🛑 looking for A,B and C Mr. Pioli kinds, 🛑 wasting our (Milan’s) resources, give young ones chances to play mixed them together with the seniors let them blend together and if you are buying buy a champion let know one is one.
