Negotiations between Milan and Chelsea are at an advanced stage, despite a rejected €15m offer, and an agreement could be found in the coming days. As such, the Rossoneri are currently evaluating what life would be without Maignan, with step one being to find a replacement.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo below), Milan are entering the situation relatively prepared, given that there has been great uncertainty regarding Maignan for quite some time. The No.1 target, therefore, is Roma’s Mile Svilar who impressed everyone this past season.
Two more feasible options, however, are Zion Suzuki (Parma) and Elia Caprile (Cagliari), aged 22 and 23 respectively. They both have a very promising future and certainly wouldn’t be as expensive as Svilar, who is reported to have a price tag of around €30m.
Gazzetta’s report aside, the feeling is that Milan need someone with a bit more experience to help lead the team back to the top. Matteo Moretto stated earlier today that Vanja Milinkovic-Savic more or less has been secured, thanks to a great relationship between his agent and Igli Tare.
