AC Milan have been offered two centre-backs but have decided against making a move to sign either, Fabrizio Romano reports.
Milan have been linked with several defenders in recent weeks, with doubts about whether their current options are enough in quality and quantity to maintain the three-man defence that Massimiliano Allegri is building from.

Patient approach chosen
According to Fabrizio Romano in his latest update video, the management have made a call on two of the names that have been linked with increasing frequency in recent days: Niklas Süle and Axel Disasi.
Both have been rejected by the Rossoneri for tactical or financial reasons, leading the club to explore alternative routes. They do not want to rush into a decision and want to take advantage of the right deal and the right profile.
The management’s task now is to satisfy Allegri’s demands. The Livorno-born coach is renowned for his obsessive attention to defence and his ability to read the game in moments, and is believed requested an experienced player who can provide immediate reliability and leadership.
Given that Koni De Winter had a more reassuring performance in today’s win over Verona, and the fact that Matteo Gabbia will soon be back, it appears that a more patient stance has prevailed.
Wise decision.
Gatti, Gila, Lucumi are I think best options locally.
RLC can be used for Gila (contract until 2026). I still think he is not good enough;
Lucumi has contract until 2027, can play anywhere in back 3 and great at 1v1 and passing with both feet;
Gatti easier operation, Italian, knows Allegri’s style
This is what I think about RLC: for me I think he’s a striker/SS not a midfielder or AM. I think he’s a SS or CF actually. Another position he can be effective is RM. He and Lord Salad maker are rare players that do not exist anymore, if they existed in the 90’s or early 2000’s that would have been perfect for them. Thank God for Allergri, Salad would have been slept on if we didn’t sign this coach.
I doubt the links were serious and they’re both crap.
More trash players that add quantity and not quality
