Despite it seeming like AC Milan have already made one defensive signing for the summer, they are not done in the region.
It is clear that Massimiliano Allegri wants more defensive cover in his team next season. Ultimately, four senior options are not enough, especially if he wants to continue in a back-three system for the 2026-27 campaign.
Perhaps one of those options could leave, too. So, the Italian wants to cover his bases.
Mario Gila already seems on the verge of wearing the Rossoneri shirt next season with multiple reports in the past 24 hours stating that things are looking good for his chances. However, he will not be the only addition.
More defensive additions
As French outlet Footmercato writes, the Diavolo are also involved in the race to sign Argentine defender Leo Balerdi. The centre back is in high demand and a move to Italy is very possible in the next few months.
According to the report, which is relayed by TuttoJuve, he would be most sought by Juventus and Milan. Yet, it seems like there may be an upper hand already present in favour of the Milanese outfit.
Marseille are asking for €30 million, which both clubs deem to be a little high. But the Bianconeri would only make a ‘concrete offer’ if his price was dropped. Whether Allegri’s side would cough up €30m is not referenced, but it may be more likely.
if we are getting Gila, why Balerdi? are we gonna sell Tomori?
Pavlovic – Gabbia – Gila
Tomori – Balerdi – deWinter
seems a bit of an overkill, when fullbacks, midfield and attack need work as well
Squad rotation, we’ll most likely be in 4 competitions if we dont crash out of the European spots.
I don’t know much about this guy but I know they also have Hojbjerg who would be a solid addition in midfield.
