AC Milan still want to sign a central defender despite David Odogu’s late arrival, with some options identified ahead of January.
As Calciomercato.com report, the fact that Milan are top after five games has brought a surge of enthusiasm to the club. Massimiliano Allegri, an experienced and skilled strategist, seems to have fixed a leaky defence with just three goals conceded in seven competitive games.

The league is a marathon of course, and to reach the finish line before the others, you need champions like Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, but also a certain level of depth in the squad. So, in the winter window, another defender could arrive.
Gomez still on the radar
Having played just 29 minutes in the Premier League and 90 in the EFL Cup, Joe Gomez isn’t a central part of Arne Slot’s plans at Liverpool. The feeling is that Milan have a strong chance of making him a January signing, having come close to doing in the summer.
The Englishman is still a target for Igli Tare, who is fully committed to strengthening the defence, especially because the signing of Odogu represents an investment for the future rather than for right now.
Eyes are also on Germany and France for the potential January signing, with the management convinced by the idea of giving Allegri a fifth central defender with reliability and ideally experience.
How about we get a good defender instead ?
This! Are they trying to ruin the defense or what’s the point?
Wouldn’t call Pavlo, Tomori or Gabbia good, yet Allegri is getting the most out of them.
Kim from Bayern could be a deal to be made.
Milan Skrinia is far better. Skrinia is ready for us
Skriniar hasn’t been good since Conte left Inter, and he left in 2021.
There was a time when there was no need to go outside of Italy to find good defenders. They were literally everywhere. And now the good prospects are leaving Italy. In the past Leoni and Calafiori would have been snapped up by one of the big Italian clubs for sure. Building that stadium should help Milan be more competitive in the market.
I sould love a Thiago Silva swansong.
…It depends if Liverpool sign Guehi from Crystal Palace?
Leoni just had a season ending injury so Liverpool are likley to sell their only remaining CB, right?
no need, Terra doing good @loan, he’ll comeback stronger, or get someone better cz Gomez isn’t
