AC Milan are pondering a late move for Augsburg defender Noahkai Banks, according to a report this morning.
With Massimiliano Allegri seemingly determined to continue playing three centre-backs, there has been talk of another player arriving to ensure there are five options for the position, in addition to Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori and Koni De Winter.

It looked as though Joe Gomez might arrive from Liverpool to become that additional option. However, things seem to have hit the brakes because the Reds are struggling to sign Marc Guehi as a replacement.
A younger option?
Gianluca Di Marzio confirms that Milan are looking for a defensive reinforcement. The Rossoneri are considering investing in Noahkai Banks of Augsburg, who would be more of a name for the future like Zachary Athekame.
The American defender played 20 games across the Bundesliga and the German Cup last season, providing one assist. At 18 years of age he is considered a real talent for the future, and Milan have shown a willingness to invest in such players.
Banks has been a part of Augsburg’s youth set-up since 2015, making his way up to the senior squad. He has also made four appearances for the USA’s U20 side, and is on the radar of the senior national team.
“The American defender played 20 games across the Bundesliga and the German Cup last season, providing one assist. ” Not true. He has under 300 minutes in Bundesliga. That is it. He mostly played in reserve team in 4th German tier. 0 minutes in German cup. They don’t even check, just translate and post. 😀
Might be a good talent but the info is as wrong as it gets.
Who cares about this clubs speculating on players.
Like Jimenez, do well, get sold for profit.
Joke of a club
Woww the American players again ? Where’s Italian ac Milan projects?? Where’s Italian teenagers ? Hehehe 😂😂🍻🥳…
