It is not a surprise that AC Milan will look to sign a defender in the summer, but it appears that they may add more than one name to their backline.

After the trial against Udinese, it seems difficult to imagine Massimiliano Allegri rushing back to use a back four. Ultimately, his side do not have the capability to withstand pressure as a back four, or even back two at times.
So, the three back should probably continue and this means that recruitment is needed in the backline. Another centre back arriving, with no one leaving, would mean that the Rossoneri have five available options.
However, it seems that Allegri may want to have a fully replaceable defensive line.
Two in for Allegri and RedBird
In recent months, there has been interest in Mario Gila and more recently, Tiago Gabriel, the Lecce defender. So, it could be a case of which one do the Diavolo sign.
Now, MilanVibes suggests that both could join. The duo are ready to step up to a ‘top club’s roster’, having been two of the standout defensive options in the league and a coach like Allegri would imaginably improve them further.
Indeed, they both possess the traits needed to complete the defensive roster, mixing youth with experience and affordability with potential. It would be a pair of signings that impress RedBird and Allegri.
