AC Milan are already making plans for the summer and one of the priorities is the defensive department. An important signing is expected, with Alessandro Buongiorno the top target, but it could come with some sacrifices.
As reported by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan are still keen on signing Buongiorno after making an attempt in January. The price tag is rather high, set at €30m, and the Rossoneri will attempt to lower this by including some counterparts.
Lorenzo Colombo, currently on loan at Monza, and Jan-Carlo Simic are the most likely candidates on that front for now. The striker has scored four goals for Raffaele Palladino’s side this season, while the centre-back has impressed a lot when given the chance by Stefano Pioli.
Although Buongiorno is a very good centre-back, most fans will probably be upset with the idea of including Simic in the deal. The Serbian, considering his age (18), has shown that he could become a fantastic player and it would perhaps be a shame to give that up already.
It’s also possible that Milan could include just one of them in the deal, with Colombo the most likely in that sense, especially since the Rossoneri are expected to sign a striker too.
