Romano: Milan begin search for a ‘new right-back’ – two targets on their list

AC Milan are in the market for a new right-back and are in active talks with one of their targets, according to a report.

While there might be other priorities for the management to address such as the central midfield area, the right wing department and signing a new striker to help Olivier Giroud out, the right-back role is one to watch.

Alessandro Florenzi’s physical condition will be of great concern to the staff given he has missed big chunks of the last two seasons, while the man brought in to provide cover for him – Sergino Dest – has returned to Barcelona after a disappointing loan spell.

According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano, Milan have both Wilfried Singo and Iván Fresneda on their list as they search for a ‘new right-back’.

He adds that talks took place for Singo yesterday too, implying that the interest is very concrete. Fresneda meanwhile is also appreciated by Barcelona, but they are ‘still waiting for the deal to advance’.
