Investment in defence is a must this summer, especially with AC Milan losing Theo Hernandez. However, a strategy must be worked out.
Since the news about Theo’s departure has looked more likely, there has been an influx of reports about different situations at left-back. Andrea Cambiaso is the preference for Massimiliano Allegri, but it will not be possible.

Instead, moves for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Maxim De Cuyper look much more feasible, due to the finances of both deals. It seems that around the €20-25 million mark could be enough to bring one to Milan.
New name in the mix
Of course, other profiles are also being assessed, and Honest Ahanor is being considered quite heavily too as the days pass. In fact, there is a ‘heavy interest’ from the Rossoneri, as Gianluca Di Marzio writes today.
The youngster is liked by Allegri and other figures within the club, and contacts are expected to find an agreement for the left-back who made six appearances in Serie A last season. Born in 2008, the defender’s ceiling is very high, making him a prime target for RedBird’s operation.
At present, his Transfermarkt value is €5m, and with a contract until 2027, it would be well within the Diavolo’s means to bring him in this summer.
A. Cambiaso and L. Pelegrini are best and winner choices!
I don’t think We should go after Honest, with only 6 Serie A games to his resume. Give him another full season.
Give bartesaghi more time to play. He play aggressive enough from the back. No need to buy some random players.
100% agreed. Give the boys from the Primavera a chance.
Raw random guy…
