CorSport: Romagnoli must be replaced – the three centre-backs Milan are targeting

Alessio Romagnoli’s departure means that AC Milan are in need of a signing for the centre-back department and there are three names on their wish list, a report claims.

According to this morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), Japhet Tanganga is in Milan’s orbit and they believe him to be an ideal profile available under the right conditions. Talks with Tottenham for the 23-year-old Englishman are ongoing, but if no agreement is found there are two alternative targets in mind.

If the Spurs defender did not come then Milan would be ready to turn to Abdou Diallo of Paris Saint-Germain or to Evan N’Dicka of Eintracht Frankfurt, who are 26 and 22 years of age respectively.

For the former it would have to be a season-long loan deal, while the latter would cost around €15-20m despite the fact that his contract with the Bundesliga club will expire at the end of the next season.
