CM: Milan targeting versatile duo to strengthen defence – the latest

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are working on two possible options for the defensive department to strengthen an area that has been decimated by injuries, it is claimed.

With the official return of Matteo Gabbia now imminent, Calciomercato.com confirm that Milan are trying to sign Filippo Terracciano from Hellas Verona, a 20-year-old capable of covering multiple roles and with big potential.

During the current season he has mainly played as a wing-back in a three-man defence or a full-back in a four-man back line, varying both on the right side of the pitch and on the left, but he was also used as a central defender when necessary do to his size.

The Rossoneri have begun talks and are testing the waters to find out the feasibility of the operation, and things could heat up in the coming days. If Verona’s valuation of the player is not deemed excessive, then an attempt could take shape.

Fiorentina are also following Terracciano closely and is looking for a right-back to replace the injured Dodò, also due to the possible departure of the young Niccolò Pierozzi, but Milan’s competition complicates Fiorentina’s plans for them.

Meanwhile, Daniele Longo from the same source confirms that Milan are working to sign Lilian Brassier from Brest, with contacts having taken place this morning. Brest want €10m to sell, but Porto are also keen.

  1. I would take Martin Vitik from Sparta Praga. Young, strong with a lot of personality and leadership , center defender. With 5-7 milion euros we can take him. But maybe he is not recommended by the famous “algorithm”…😆😆

    1. How much did you know about Martin Vitik before today when the Twitter algorithm told you about Napoli interest in him?

  2. With this kind of signings and numbers at the back when everyone is back, they could revert to 343. That would help the leaky midfield to be more composed and condensed with two wide players, namely Theo and Calabria, supporting.

    I wonder how much Calafiori would cost. He’s another exciting prospect and left footed too.

    1. We could have got Calafiori in the summer for next to nothing, but we inexplicably went for Pellegrino ??!! Well done management, Calafiori is playing well for Bologna at CB and can play LB, would have been very helpful for us…..but no we got Pellegrino instead

        1. Hindsight is 20/20. None of the other big teams went for Calafiori and his own youth club, Roma, let him go. So Bologna takes him and tries him at CB and voila, suddenly we missed out and the management sucks. Move on.

  3. We should sign Martin Vitik and Maxime Esteve for CB Terracciano looked good in the highlights I saw so we move on CDM maybe Samuele Ricci? And at last we need to sign Guirassy ASAP
