A lot of the attention at the moment is on the striker that AC Milan will sign in the summer, but they are also in the market for another central defender too.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes that the purchase of a new striker and a defensive midfielder will be the two priorities for the Milan management.
The paper explains how Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna) is at the top of the list for the first positions and Youssouf Fofana (Monaco) is among the priorities to come in and complete the midfield.
Milan will also have to buy a new defender and the paper mentions two names: Tosin Adarabioyo of Fulham and Lilian Brassier of Brest.
Both are young profile with the margins to develop, which ticks boxes for Milan, while Adarabioyo could arrive on a free given that his deal expires at the end of the season and Brassier’s contract is up in 2025.
Given that Simon Kjaer’s deal runs out at the end of the season and the other options like Pierre Kalulu and Malick Thiaw have spent a long time out injured, it is perhaps no surprise to learn that Milan want a new centre-back.
