AC Milan have a ‘winter dream’ that they will try until the end of the January transfer window to make a reality: the signing of Alessandro Buongiorno.

According to what is being reported by Antonio Vitiello of MilanNews, the next 15 days will tell us whether it will remain just an unfulfilled wish or if there will be an ‘incredible twist’ that works in Milan’s favour.
At the moment the chances of seeing Buongiorno make the move to Milan are very few. The reason? Torino currently want over €30m to sell their captain, while their president Urbano Cairo has shown in the past that he will retain players even at the cost of losing out financially at a later time.
The Andrea Belotti case teaches us that negotiating with him and with the Granata is not easy. Milan are trying, but they will not be able to satisfy the figures requested by Cairo in January.
If, however, Toro were open to a ‘quid pro quo’ to lower the cost – such as Lorenzo Colombo going the other way as a counterpart – then something could move.
If Milan fail to sign Buongiorno in January, they will try again in the summer. With Simon Kjaer’s possible departure (his contract expires in June), the Rossoneri will need to invest in a new central defender.
