AC Milan could be lining up with a very different-looking defence when the new season is in its early stages, with a number of players linked and some potential departures too.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, defenders like Strahinja Pavlovic, Jhon Lucumi and Igor are all being linked with moves to the Rossoneri, with Pavlovic currently looking like the player Milan are most likely to sign.
The Red Bull Salzburg defender is thought to be ready for the next challenge in his career and Milan have been in talks with the Austrian club to complete a deal.
There could be more arrivals, though, if Milan do end up selling Malick Thiaw to Newcastle this summer. The German defender could soon be subject to a €40m bid from the Premier League side and that would spark Milan into more action.
Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi is a very credible option to replace Thiaw, as is Brighton’s Brazilian defender Igor.
Lucumi may be tough to sign given Riccardo Calafiori is heading to Arsenal and Bologna are seeking a replacement for him already. He would cost somewhere around €25m, achievable if Thaiw leaves for €40m.
Igor could be slightly cheaper as he is not viewed as central to Brighton’s plans now that Roberto De Zerbi has left.
Igor is a Cristian Zapata. Don’t take him for 4 mil!
We do we want to sign two bad players sign someone like kiwior who wants Milan, I don’t get why we always need to have profit, sign players like you want to win games not win the profit do’or
Tomori, Thaw, Kalulu, Gabbia plus one should be plenty – obviously if one leaves then a replacement may be needed, especially with Simic now gone.
Pavlovic aside, these are crap players and I don’t think there’s any genuine interest.
is this guy even good?
We all learn to be better in life some players was said to be bad but as time passes by they are great players..sometime we just judged players so bad..that when the performe we say nothing.. they are human after all..milan forever and ever ❤️ ♥️
If Thiaw doesn’t go anywhere, then there’s no reason to look at any other names outside of Pavlo…
I just realized something:

Your comment then posts…
Not always. I end my sentenced quite often with … but still get those lovely error messages.
I’ll rather keep Thiaw. Yeah, he had one crappy season and injuries. But there is potential in the guy. Especially if Igor is one of his replacement, god no..
Jaka Bijol Slovenia will be good for future.
Yep. He’s on my list after Pavlovic and Kiwior. Had a good Euro.
