One position that the AC Milan management are looking to address is the role of deputy left-back as Fode Ballo-Toure has not convinced, a report claims.
Calciomercato.com recall how the back-up role to Theo Hernandez has been somewhat of a poisoned chalice given Ricardo Rodriguez and Diego Laxalt left without getting many chances and now a similar fate awaits Ballo-Touré. He has a market in France and will leave at the end of the season for a figure of around €5m.
Milan would like to sign a new left-back to replace him but a key bit of news is that they would like an Italian to fill the gap. Fabiano Parisi could be the right man, but Empoli are asking for €15m.
Both Emanuele Valeri from Cremonese and Antonino Gallo from Lecce have been watched but both are not entirely convincing, while a more difficult track leads to Carlos Augusto of Monza, who has an Italian passport.
They would like to keep the 24-year-old least for another season given he has four goals and three assists in 20 games so far in the current campaign, while the Brazilian’s willingness to battle for a place with Theo Hernandez must also be evaluated.
