AC Milan are at risk of losing a few defensive players this summer, so some new additions will be required, and a few options have been named.
Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw will be two players to watch this summer, as both are heavily rumoured to leave Milan, which is only a natural part of the footballing cycle. However, they must be replaced with quality, which is not always easy.
Both have shown their quality this season, and around €50 million can hopefully be reached with both of their sales, you would imagine, but it will need to be seen. Alternatively, they could be used in negotiations, as was suggested with Thiaw moving to Arsenal in part of a deal for Riccardo Calafiori.
Today, TMW director Niccolo Ceccarini has spoken about some of the other options that could be considered this summer, and each of the options is rather exciting, as Milan News relay.
“For the defence, in addition to Coppola from Verona, the Rossoneri are also pressing for Mosquera from Valencia. It is then to be understood what the margins of manoeuvre could be. Much will depend on the requests of the Spanish club. They also like Okoli from Leicester City.”
Califiori is literally the inky name worth mentioning here. How are you gonna say we need quality and then list a Valencia defender who’s been getting flamed all season, and a Leicester defender who just git relegated in one if the worst epl teams of all time!?!?!? More cheap ass options from a management unwilling to buy ACTUAL quality
Big mistake to give up on Thiaw. Ball playing CB are not easy to find. And he’s still young. Replace young with more younger? We are so lost – this management and ownership are pure TRASH.
Theo and Thiaw should be kept. Tomori can go.
But let’s be real – we missed out on UCL so we are def going to sell because Gerry has no $$$$.
10th place?? Amazing season!! TY Gerry!!!🤡🤣🤡🤣😭😭
Tomori has been playing well lately though. With a 3 man defense I’d keep him around. Other than Califiori, the other 2 certainly aren’t any better than what we currently have.
if Milan stick with a 3 man defense, I’d keep all of our current center backs and add one or two more. The only one out of this lot that would improve our defense is Califiori.
la Liga players is so overrated. we’ve enough flop from there, we stuck w/ “ex-Villareal wonderkid” Chuck, “ex-Valencia star” Musah & “ex-Barca next Daniel Alves” Emerson
This. 100%.
I like Okoli, particularly given that he has recovery speed. He was extremely solid for Frosinone.
Giovanni Leoni is the guy to be all over. He’s more athletic than Coppola and seems to have more of an ability to play with the ball. I suspect he’s still cheaper, too.
I still expect big things from Bartesaghi, too, as a left footed CB.
If we keep playing 343 or any other version of 3 at the back. Then we will need more CBs in the squad.
Kalulu would be worth recalling in that scenario if he wants to.
Just keep the ones we have instead, I don’t see any of those mentioned as a upgrade
