AC Milan are interested in signing Spezia centre-back Martin Erlic this summer, a report claims, amid doubts of Fikayo Tomori’s stay.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Calciomercato.com) recently reported that the Rossoneri were impressed by the performance of young Croatian centre-back during the 2-0 defeat two weekends ago.

Erlic is close to being called up to the Croatian national team and was wanted by Fulham in January, the paper added. He is a young player (23), physical, with potential and at low costs: all characteristics that appeal to the new Rossoneri project.
Now, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanLive) are reporting again that Milan have targeted Erlic, providing more of a profile on the player. His best features are his aerial game – something Milan’s centre-backs have been lacking at set pieces and as seen in Inter’s first goal. Given his considerable stature, he is also a threat from set pieces at the other end.
At the moment the player is worth just under €10million, the source claims, but if Spezia were to avoid relegation his valuation could grow even further.
Why keep signing defenders as if that’s the major problem..there are no playmakers in the team. Please do the needful
