MN: Milan expecting quiet deadline day – the business so far and possible further deals

The January transfer window closes at 20:00 CET in Italy on Thursday, and the chances of AC Milan doing any last-minute business are decreasing.

As MilanNews reports, Milan evaluated various centre-back targets over the past few weeks including Tosin Adarabioyo, Lilian Brassier, Trevoh Chalobah, Jakub Kiwior, Clement Lenglet and lastly Merih Demiral.

However, for various reasons none of those will arrive between now and tomorrow night. In some cases the economic demands were too high, while loans were sought for others but the parent club would not relax their stance.

The additions

Matteo Gabbia: The defender returned from his loan spell at Villarreal six months early to help ease the defensive crisis amid injuries to Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw and Pierre Kalulu.

Filippo Terracciano: Unless there is any last minute news, Terracciano will be the only real new signing for Milan. He signed a contract until June 2028, joining from Hellas Verona for €4.5m plus bonuses.

The exits

Marco Pellegrino: The Argentine could still move on loan to Salernitana as per the report, even if there are reports FIFA will block it. The management and lawyers have remained in contact with the governing body to find a solution, updates will therefore follow.

Chaka Traorè: The winger could also leave Milan on loan and the most likely option at the moment is Lausanne, a team that plays in the Super League, the first division of the Swiss system.
