After the signing of Christopher Nkunku, AC Milan have been looking at more Chelsea players who could strengthen the squad.
Milan want to sign another centre-back before the window closes, to provide Massimiliano Allegri with a fifth option for the three-man defence. The management made a serious attempt to sign Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji, but were unsuccessful as he wants Champions League football.

MilanNews report that the Rossoneri have begun exploring other options, such as Chelsea’s Axel Disasi who is on the fringes of Enzo Maresca’s plans.
In addition to the Franco-Congolese, sporting director Igli Tare is also reportedly evaluating Wesley Fofana (also at Chelsea) and Juan Foyth (Villarreal).
Meanwhile, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), Milan have been evaluating Fofana and Benoit Badiashile for the defensive department. The former has been held back by Maresca after Levi Cowill’s serious injury, but the latter could be allowed to go.
It seems that Milan are looking for the classic ‘market opportunity’ late in the window to address the position. Moreover, relations with Chelsea are known to be strong after previous operations like Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic, so future business feels almost a certainty.
This would be a very good signing
👍
Which one? There are three players being discussed here. Badiashile wouldn’t be bad. I think he wants more playing time, but he’s had a couple of injuries recently.
We already have a good relationship with Chelsea and they have like 15 cbs so finding a deal shouldn’t be a problem, we just have to find a deal with the player
How about Man city’s Nathan Ake? Can play both CB & LWB/LB
How on Earth could Milan pursuade Nathan Ake??
Going from City to the Milan circus, lower salary, dinosaur coach and no CL… impossible
Man city? Who! Are you delusional!
If there’s a chance, we need to try. Delusional will be we not trying cos he’s better than all those names we have flying around
Reduced game time and not a guaranteed starter at man city plus world Cup year ahead. He needs regular minutes and will be a starter in milan
We were just rejected by Akanji who Man City wants out. No way Ake would come to Milan.
Wesley injury prone, the other two are flop . The best from that 3 worst only badiashile. Shopping in chelsea mart never disappointing ACM , except maybe RLC
Why doesn’t Gerry just sell the club to Clearlake and be done with it.
+1. But not Clearlake.
It is not easy to find buyer for 2 billion euro. Thats also need elliot agreement too. They will not sell until they finish pay their debt to elliot
The problem is that Chelsea asks for big money. If they will loan Fofana great. Thank you.
Hmmm… Someone on X said the “C” in AC Milan stands for Chelsea…
LOL – always looking for scraps and bargains!!
Well that’s what you get when you wait till the last minute to do all of your shopping. What a joke
We are NOT a serious club
Like any of this is planed. We’re grabbing at anything. Another terrible mercato. I pray ever night Red Bird sells us.
Fabio Capello;
The profiles they choose are chosen because they are available, not because they possess certain characteristics.
Unfortunately very very true. There are no strategy or even plan, only last minut panic purchases.

AC Milan is Chelsea B?
