The January transfer window could well end up being a busy one for AC Milan particularly in the defensive department, where an injury crisis has limited the options available.
Geoffrey Moncada said before the Cagliari game last night that more defenders are needed, and Calciomercato.com have provided an update on Milan’s ongoing pursuit of two players.
They state that Filippo Terracciano has promised himself to Milan. The meeting between the agent Andrea D’Amico and the Rossoneri management led to a total agreement over a contract until 2028.
The choice has been made to focus on the 20-year-old because he is a profile considered to have ample room for growth, he is liked because he can play multiple roles and he is Italian (useful for squad lists).
A first direct contact with Verona is already expected in the next few hours and Milan will put on the table a €4-5m offer to beat the competition from Fiorentina and Juventus and hopefully to quickly close the negotiation.
Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio are also very active on another negotiating table, namely that relating to Brest defender Lilian Brassier. He is held in high esteem and Milan are considering closing the deal for around €10m.
There were also significant contacts yesterday, but if a deal is not found for Brassier then the Rossoneri could also consider the idea of giving more space to Jan-Carlo Simic after the positive signs so far.
