AC Milan have identified two other goalkeeping targets should they need to enter the market and get a replacement for Mike Maignan in January, a report claims.
As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Calciomercato.com), the Rossoneri are concerned that Mike Maignan may have a serious issue with his calf and the club would like to get another goalkeeper if that proves to be the case.
One plan is to bring forward the Marco Sportiello deal which is set to go through as a free transfer in the summer, but it would cost Milan €5 million.
Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been very impressive and is another potential signing, but he could cost around €18 million.
Alessio Cragno is another option that has been mentioned, but they would need to find an agreement with both Monza and Cagliari for the termination of his loan deal before he could then join Milan for the rest of the season.
Cragno seems more likely, since he’d only be a loan until the summer, when Sportiello would arrive on a free, and thus the cheapest option. Finding an agreement with Monza and Cagliari will not be a problem as Cragno sits on the bench at Monza.
