MN: Returning duo and a €30m target – Milan reflecting on plan for the defence

AC Milan have been linked with a number of different targets for the defensive department since the window opened, and an update has arrived regarding the strategy.

According to what Pietro Mazzara has reported in his column for MilanNews, the management are ‘looking carefully’ at how to move and which opportunities to potentially try and pursue in the last couple of weeks of the window.

Alessandro Buongiorno is a profile that is very popular among the directors, but if Torino are not open to the sale for a total figure lower than €30m, then he remains a target that will be spoken about more in view of the summer rather than right not.

Mazzara adds that Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori will be available again within three to four weeks, which is something that might well influence the decision to invest in January.

The German is the one most advanced in his recovery, then the Englishman will follow, then of course Pierre Kalulu. Therefore it is logical and legitimate that the management are also evaluating the numerical aspect of the central defenders available to Stefano Pioli.

If the conditions are right then action will be taken, but there is certainly not a desire to force anything or rush into making the wrong purchase.
