CM: Spurs outcast not the only name on Maldini’s list as defender search continues

There could well be movement in AC Milan’s defensive department before the transfer window closes, according to a report.

Calciomercato.com report that while Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori as a centre-back pairing have shown themselves to be among the best in the league, the overall defensive phase has struggled in the first two league games with three goals conceded.

With such a crowded calendar due to the World Cup in the winter, rotations will be fundamental to keep the level of attention and competitiveness high.

However, the small budget still available (€10-15m) means the options are limited, while Simon Kjaer needs time to get back to 100% and Matteo Gabbia is not yet at the level of being a starter for a side that wants to win trophies.

The main name is Japhet Tanganga from Tottenham but there are also profiles with different characteristics compared to the English defender on the wish list of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara. The next few days should reveal more answers.
