This summer, AC Milan will sign another central defender and there are plenty of options for them to look at, as reports suggest.
It has been a mad few weeks for Milan. A €75 million deal for Goncalo Ramos was shortly followed by a €30m move for Mario Gila, all whilst no sacrifices have been made. For the Rossoneri, these are not normal figures; this much can be confirmed.

However, Gerry Cardinale is changing the way in which he acts at the top of the club and he has stated his desire to win on countless occasions, most recently this afternoon, in a press conference with Ruben Amorim.
Stones or Inacio
He and Amorim are leading the club forward and the Portuguese is clear that he wants another central defender for next season. The costs will not be major too, especially with the way that the Gila deal has been structured.
With this, Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports that the focus for the next addition – at least defensively – would be Goncalo Inacio. However, he remains slightly pricey at around €40-50m; alternatively, they may have a look at free agents.
John Stones, who is having a solid World Cup, has been offered by intermediaries and he could well be a smart option for the club. Though his wages would make a deal slightly difficult unless they were renegotiated…
too old
Solid players are never to old. Everyone was talking this type of smack about Luca last year before the season started and now we’re begging him to come back ‘lol. He’s playing well for a completely stacked England squad and did a job when they were down 10 men against Mexico. A baller is a baller and Stones can ball
Injury prone but good with the ball. Free agent. £13 million per year salary.
Italian salaries are net. Is it worth it to offer €4 million a year?
And still go for Inacio? Too much?
It would help if Tomori leaves. And Pavlovic was reported to have interest from PL a while ago. I don’t know.
Swap him for our best defender? No thanks.
Stones can ball? Gesù pianse.
He is injury prone so will absolutely not be worth the wage he commands. And the England part, he’s 2nd choice, a bench warmer, for an English side where defence is their weakness. Busted flush comes to mind.
Bro Luca ran out of steam half way through the season. It was exactly what people feared….his age re ability to play for long spells. His form in the second half of the season wasnt great. He’s a very good sub at best right now for the level which we would like to play at
Real Madrid realized this. I hope we do too
Milan definitely wants Gonçalo Inacio because he’s left footed but also because he is replacing Pavlovic who doesn’t fit Amorim system.
I believe Tomori and Pavlovic will be sold and Milan will also sign Thomas Kristensen from Udinese.
RCB- Gila – CB: Kristensen and LCB: Inacio
That would be a solid defense and possibly the best in Serie A.
Are you high? Pavlovic was our best defender, and who said he does not fit amorim system?
WTF, bro…
Stones is cooked.
Another overpaid English man
OUT: Tomori, Odogu (loan)
IN: Inacio, Zalewski
keep one of Estupinan/Musah for 5th wingback, giving Barte space to play as LCB
GK, defense, double-pivot and strikers are done. Only CAMs, main one on the right and another to cover him.
if Tomori leaves either player would be a decent replacement.
