AC Milan are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper and the list of candidates is growing, because Andrea Consigli has also appeared as an option.
As Calciomercato.com report, the injury suffered by Marco Sportiello during the tour of the United States has changed the transfer plans, because the cut on his left hand will force the former Atalanta goalkeeper to miss at least two months and might yet need surgery.
Lorenzo Torriani has been promoted to third choice after having performed well in the friendlies against Rapid Wien and Manchester City, but he is still seen as being too young at 19 years of age to be the deputy Mike Maignan even if just for a couple of months.
The Milan management are looking at various options and Andrea Consigli has been offered to them after Sassuolo’s relegation to Serie B. The 37-year-old would not be expensive, would help with the squad list regulations and has put a move to Monza on pause because he wants the Rossoneri.
Consigli joins an already long list of candidates including Simone Scuffet, the first name explored by Milan who would cost around €3m, as well as Loris Karius and Rui Patricio who have also been proposed, but there is a desire to focus on an Italian profile.
