GdS: Milan targeting €20m-rated Brighton centre-back to aid defensive rebuild

By Oliver Fisher -

It is well known that AC Milan are looking to sign a central defender during the summer transfer window, and an option from Brighton has reportedly emerged.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Milan will look to sign a centre-back and a right-back during the upcoming mercato. Not only that, but they want them to be starter-level players who can come in and immediately make a difference.

The management are looking at Igor, formerly of Fiorentina and now at Brighton. He is just one of the Rossoneri’s latest ideas, having first come to Italy with SPAL and then joining La Viola, while last summer he was sold to the Premier League side for €17m and another €3m in bonuses.

It is the same amount that Brighton would ask for today to sell him after one season with 33 appearances under Roberto De Zerbi. The paper stresses again that it is just an idea, because between now and the end of August the transfer window will be filled with many other ideas.

The 26-year-old spent time in the youth academies of Atletico Miniero and Red Bull Brasil before making the jump to Red Bull Salzburg. SPAL signed him from there in 2019, after loan spells at Wolfsberger AC and Austria Wien.
