CorSport: Doue remains Milan’s plan A as Singo takes secondary spot

It seems AC Milan have their priorities laid out this summer, with an order forming at right-back. However, it may not be that easy.

With the mercato, it is sometimes not as simple as landing your primary target; we are seeing this with Ardon Jashari currently. However, this does not mean that Milan should not have one.

Two options

At right-back there is a need to invest, boosted by the sale of Emerson Royal, who is expected to join Flamengo shortly in a deal worth €10 million. With a lack of numbers and quality, some reinforcement is needed.

Reports have consistently suggested that Guela Doue remains first choice. However, this move is difficult due to a poor relationship with executives of BlueCo, who own Strasbourg and Chelsea. Despite this, the Rossoneri will continue to pursue the Ivorian.

Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) write as much, stating that the €30m price tag is also creating difficulties with the ‘Plan A’. Should the route to Doue not open, it would see the Diavolo move to their secondary option, Wilfried Singo.

The former Torino man has been a name on the list for a while, and he could leave Monaco to head back to Italy this summer. A wide defender, the Ivorian can also play centrally, offering a little more flexibility for Massimiliano Allegri, should it be required.

  1. Isn’t Singo the same exact price as Doue? Transfermarketweb has him at 25 million… I know that website isn’t always accurate… but still…

  2. So that’s it, Italianisation is forgotten, just get in as many foreigners as possible, and get rid of as many homegrown players as we can, regardless of squad list rules, essentially we may as well be called Internazionale of Milan……oh hold on wait, isn’t there a team with that name??

    1. They brought in Ricci. And what Italian fullbacks are available? The good ones aren’t at any price that’s available.

      1. Personally I would rather Antonino Gallo than Estupinian and Zappa or Zanoli over any of these French players, in fact i would rather have Calabria back than any of these foreign links. Zappacosta could also do a good job, but I’m sure others will say they are trash etc, but for me I want some italian blood to support, Milan is an Italian team and always has been, a balance is needed, not a team of foreigners or vice versa, all great Milan sides have been a mix of homegrown and foreign imports, not what we are now.

        1. Your standards are awful then. Calabria is still without a club. Ask yourself why. Zappacosta is done and dusted as a player. Na, there aren’t any good Italian fullbacks out there.

        2. ACM first target for full back are cambiasso but juve put price tag 75m euro. Also ACM want new CB italian like leoni & comuzzo but both club parma & fiorentina put 40m euro price tag, you will be crazy if want to pay 40m euro for 18 years leoni
