AC Milan are looking for a right-back ahead of next season and according to a report, they have set their sights on Almeria’s Marc Pubill.
Following the departures of Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi and soon also Emerson Royal, it’s clear that Milan need to reinforce the right-back position. Alex Jimenez and Alexis Saelemaekers are currently the only options for that role, though they could be used more in attack.

Quite a few names have been linked with the club in recent weeks, such as Guela Douè, and Igli Tare is currently evaluating the most cost-effective solution. With a lot of money expected to be spent elsewhere, it’s certainly not the position that Milan will invest the most money in.
Milan turn to Almeria star
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, speaking on Sky Italia last night, Milan are keeping a close eye on Almeria’s right-back Marc Pubill. The 22-year-old was a starter for Spain in the U21 Euros last month and impressed with his performance, as he did in La Liga this past season.
He has a price tag of around €15m and in addition to Milan, Barcelona are also in the race to secure his services. The Camp Nou side would like to sign him and then leave him on loan for a season, while the Rossoineri would obviously need him immediately.
As highlighted by Di Marzio, Pubill came close to joining Atalanta and Gian Piero Gasperini in the past, which suggests he is a player with a lot of talent and potential.
Spaniards don’t do well in Serie A. They should not be looking to Spain.
Dated notion my friend, these days players from other nations have no problems in other countries, the world with advent of all this technology at are disposal has changed the world drastically, if a player is good enough he can do it anywhere, his nationality has no bearing on this.
Also Italy and Spain are Latin countries, so if they fail in each other’s countries, it is through their own inadequacies
Lol Italians don’t do well in Serie A either, with that logic. Some of Milan’s worst players the last couple of years, have been Italians. You want Calabria on that right back??
Theo and Brahim were excellent for Milan, and they came from Spanish football.
Would be good to see but you’d imagine Barcelona will sell the idea that he’ll replace Kounde in a year’s time… whether that’s true or not
The Spanish players are not defensively sound,why don’t we go for serie A fullback, get udogie also to replace Theo
I would like us to sign Leoni, Jashari, Kean/vlahovic..Forza Milan
I think that vlahovic is good but he lett us feel that he isnt so sportsman….12mil.? Too much! 25 for transfer is good but 12 of wage is ridiculous.
We can use swap for dovbyk and for me give 40 for real goal machine pavlidis. Greek is X factor…on back left and right i dont have ideas. Leoni ok…we can try for singo… for rotation RB or CB…
If you want to save money for 2 LB just take calabria back , he is free transfer now and have different style with jimenez for RB, you need 6 home grown too .
All out for pubill
