AC Milan are still in the market for a new central defender but they are finding it hard to find the right opportunity due to a number of factors, a report claims.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below) provided an update on when Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori should return to action, and in turn on the management’s search for some help.
The paper claims that various options for the defence have put on stand-by for the moment. With a week still available for purchases a new addition cannot be ruled out, but Geoffrey Moncada and co. have found it hard to find the right deal.
The abolition of the Growth Decree limits the market and means that smaller investments and the perfect conditions must arise before the club commit to bringing in a player, even on loan.
For example, Milan want to sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea but they would require it to be a loan deal rather than investing money in a permanent transfer, potentially with an option to buy.
The budget might well be available, but the club have made it clear in the past that they will only pull the trigger when they are absolutely convinced by the terms.
