A new right-back is among the priorities for the summer mercato, and AC Milan’s management have held talks with a defender who they have an interest in.
Earlier today, it was reported that Milan, under Fonseca’s management, will look to sign four players/roles in the summer, and one of those positions is a right-back. Two names have been linked consistently with the role, and those have been Tiago Santos and Emerson Royal.
However, Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that the club have held talks with the agent of Emerson this afternoon, given he is one of the ‘top targets’ for the Rossoneri’s management. However, there are some drawbacks.
Given he is not from a country in the European Union, there could be difficulties when registering him for the squad next season, and this could cause the club to look in other directions. Additionally, given Santos plays for Lille under Fonseca, he could be preferred due to their existing relationship.
Regardless of who is selected, Di Marzio states that the plans are clear, and the Diavolo ‘aim to move a few pawns from the right side’ and a new right-back will be brought into the club. It is not known who will be chosen to compete with Davide Calabria for the starting spot, though.
