In the last few days, AC Milan have been linked with many young centre-backs on the market. The defence needs reinforcing but the Rossoneri could slightly change their approach, opting for Barcelona’s Clement Lenglet instead.
Lenglet, as many of us know, is not exactly considered a young centre-back at the age of 28. However, Milan are still evaluating the Frenchman as he could be signed for just €10m, according to today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (see photo below).
The defender spent last season on loan at Tottenham and he no longer appears to be in the plans of Barcelona, hence the price tag. By signing Lenglet, Milan could hold off on bringing in a young centre-back and could instead promote Jan Carlo-Simic.
The 18-year-old, as highlighted by the newspaper, did really well during the pre-season tour in the United States and Stefano Pioli was impressed. He could thus be promoted to the first team and learn from the more experienced centre-backs.
It remains to be seen what the Rossoneri will do, but evaluations are in full swing.
Please no!!
Noo…
Tomori is bad player
Are you kidding?
Rather than wasting 10m, just keep Kjaer and use him as well as Simic for 4th and 5th CB.
No please
So you want to waste 10m for this reject instead?
Why not pavard
He can play cb and rb
And he’s in his last contract year
Yes and he is too good too
he is not gd
Promoting Simic is a must. But I rather keep Kjaer then signing Lenglet. If Kjaer is to leave I much rather see Pavard then Lenglet. He is fast and great in the air, can play RB as well as CB.
What of Eletu? Can’t we promote him to the senior team?
Better maguire haha
No thanks.
Sign a player with a long term outlook. I thought Moncada was supposed to have more of a say? Whatever happened to Maxime Esteve.
Doesn’t he have like 12M gross salary?
Anything over 2-3M salary for this average dude is 2 much
please no….
We don’t want him also he’s not young CB at 28 he’s getting way closer to finish he’s whatever career . Just promote Simic and buy esteve it would probably cost a little more than Thiaw but he’s for future while lenglet isn’t even for present lol that would be stupid move for the management
