If AC Milan lose a centre-back this summer then they will need to sign one, and there are two Serie A talents on their list.
There continues to be rumours surrounding two of Milan’s central defenders above all: Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori. The former is believed to be a concrete target for Bayer Leverkusen, and there has even been talk about him being included in the Granit Xhaka negotiations.

Comuzzo joins the list
Gianluca Di Marzio confirms that Milan are considering changes in their defensive department, one that Massimiliano Allegri – who likes his teams to be solid at the back – will hope to improve.
While waiting for several outgoing situations to be resolved, Milan continues to keep an eye on several profiles that could improve the squad, and this includes centre-backs.
If Thiaw, Tomori or another player in the position were to leave, the first name on the wish list would be that Giovanni Leoni of Parma. The report adds that the Rossoneri are trying to get ‘ahead of the competition’ to land him.
Another name is Pietro Comuzzo of Fiorentina. The 20-year-old had a breakout season with La Viola, and as a result the club will want a big fee to part with him.

this is now a team
Let’s forget about dodo. If he was so great Barca would’ve got him already. We need someone strong and solid at RB, not someone with the physical stature of dodo.
We’re not getting Coppola and neither Leoni so what makes you think they’ll get someone who already costs as much as those two combined.
Yep. Coppola to Brighton for a mere 12M, Bijol to Leeds for 22M, both good defenders at good prices and we didn’t bat an eye. Then Udinese replaces Bijol with Italy U21 Bertola, himself a good prospect FOR FREE, and we didn’t bat an eye. Comuzzo for 40M? Forget about it. Our new CB will be some rando French dude from Ligue 2.
what the h3ll our so called “super scout & super computer (moneyball)” doing?
how can club such Brighton, Leeds & Udin out-done Mighty Milan w/ better (quality & price) transfer easily?
“The 20-year-old had a breakout season with La Viola, and as a result the club will want a big fee to part with him.”
Big fee? Now that’s the red flag that means we’ll move on to other targets. So Moncada goes shopping in France again.
for now we have got nobody. it’s difficult to believe this new faces in AC Milan. they are too expensive for us. and Leoni have only 18 years old. do you believe that he will cope in such big club since his first season?
.
I believe that we will buy 39 years old Modric and 32-years old Xhaka. let’s focus next on Cristiano Ronaldo 40-years old and Lewandowski who has only 36years old so he is very young for our standards.
It’s not about the money, it’s that they’re Italian. If they were foreigners, especially EPL rejects, signing them wouldn’t be a problem.
