AC Milan will sign a new central defender in the summer and Alessandro Buongiorno of Torino is a name very high up on their wish list, a report claims.
Today’s edition of La Repubblica (via MilanNews) reports that a meeting with Torino is scheduled soon to talk about Buongiorno. The Granata captain is a profile that has been popular for some time among the Milan management, and they will try again after being rebuffed in January.
He is a profile that ticks plenty of boxes: he would increase the Italian influence in the squad which is also fundamental in terms of UEFA squad lists, and above all he is a profile that suits the club’s philosophy given he is young, knows the league and can grow even more.
Buongiorno’s asking price starts at €35m and it must be remembered that Torino president Urbano Cairo gave the green light for his sale to Atalanta last summer, a deal that did not materialise due to the Italy international’s desire to stay but which proved there is a willingness to negotiate.
The source add that Milan wants to close the operation quickly, before Euro 2024 to avoid the risk of the price of the price tag rising or triggering auctions involving clubs who might be willing to pay more.
343 if that happens
Maignan
Tomori Gabbia Buon
Calabria DM Reijnders Theo
Puli ST Leao
I smell Conte in here.
Not gonna happen unless pioli resign . Moneyball want to keep pioli atleast until his contract expire. Even if Conte coming that RWB lacking speed,stamina,drible maybe jimenez are better than ACM capitano for RWB
If Conte arrives then Calabria and Florenzi are both going out of the squad.
Nah lol.
25m euro + pobega or colombo . Just give torino bonus pelegrino if they want
Would be an upgrade but Milan will not be buying any Italian who costs over 5M€.
