AC Milan are looking to strengthen their defensive department and they have their eye on centre-backs at Manchester United and Arsenal.

According to CaughtOffside, Milan are aware of the fact that Victor Lindelof’s future with Manchester United is uncertain given that his deal expires at the end of the season and at the moment a renewal is far from imminent.

The 30-year-old has made 266 appearances for the Red Devils and has been there for over half a decade now. However, they have invested in other centre-backs and a move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is being lined up.

Milan are keeping tabs on things and could move for Lindelof, because they ‘value his experience’. The management could make an approach in January when the Swede will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs.

However, the report adds that ‘sources have stated’ Milan are also very interested in Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior. Lindelof would be a permanent signing on a free, whereas there is interest in getting Kiwior on loan for the 2025-26 season.

The Poland international is not a regular in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI, but there is competition from Napoli, Bologna, Juventus, Villarreal and Marseille to contend with. It is very much a long-standing interest in Kiwior on Milan’s part, from his Spezia days.

    1. I don’t think it’s the best transfer strategy buying players off of significant injuries but I do like Scalvini a lot so I’m very conflicted. Maybe Milan can work out a two year loan with option. Atalanta owe us one like that 😂

    1. Kiwior has long been linked with Inter and Juve too. In the Euros he was shaky in defense, and at Arsenal he has not been able to get enough minutes. I would not invest money on him.

  1. Lindelof and Kiwior? Wow this needs to be changed
    One doesn’t play and always injury prone the other every time arteta puts him on as a sub or need to start he always regrets it check it out every time 😔

  2. Lindelof is an average cb with a 4M net salary.. hard pass. Only a m0r0n would sign him.
    Kiwior has some seriea a exp and made a bad call in going to arsenal. But i dont see him being better than pavlo

    We need a Kjaer. An exp cb that can slot in when needed but wont mind being a sub. That can mentor our younger cbs.

  3. there is one more thing, why don’t you go and see Luca Orellano’s style of play. He is very agile and fast and a threat when in front of the goal. We can take him as an additional AM.
