CM: Milan very close to signing midfielder; new contacts held over Real Madrid defender

AC Milan are working on multiple fronts and appear to be close to closing one of them in the coming days, according to a report.

The latest bulletin from MilanNews confirms that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are getting closer and closer to the permanent signing of Sandro Tonali from Brescia. The operation is in the final details and is moving towards closure, and it is suspected based on multiple reports that Milan will secure themselves a discount.

The search for a new deputy right-back is also well underway, and contacts continue over a possible deal for Alvaro Odriozola of Real Madrid. Relations between the Rossoneri and Los Blancos are excellent – especially now Carlo Ancelotti is their head coach – and the formula that is currently most likely is a loan.

There are two weeks until AC Milan’s preseason campaign officially gets underway and there are still a lot of question marks about the squad, but work is being done to address the gaps.
