Stefano Pioli has demanded that AC Milan sign another central defender before the season comes to an end because he feels he is lacking bodies in that area of the pitch, a report claims.
As has been reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan), the coach is not happy with the limited options that he has in that area of the pitch.
Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw seem to be his favoured pairing right now, but then Pierre Kalulu has been used often at right-back during pre-season and Simon Kjaer’s fitness cannot be fully trusted.
There have been suggestions that youngster Davide Bartesaghi could be used as a centre-back this season for more depth, but Pioli would presumably rather an actual signing arrived.
Resources are starting to wear thin and Milan still want a backup left-back, a striker and a central defender, meaning Pioli could be left disappointed in at least one position.
