Sky: Milan will monitor mercato closely for discount centre-back deals

AC Milan are looking to strengthen the squad with another centre-back before the January window closes, but the targets are not obvious. As a report claims, the Rossoneri will look for opportunities in the upcoming weeks. 

Matteo Gabbia has been brought back by the management and Jan-Carlo Simic of the Primavera has been good when given the chance as well. However, with three centre-backs still on the sidelines, Milan want to add another man to the department.

This was confirmed by Stefano Pioli during his pre-match press conference earlier today, with Milan taking on Roma tomorrow. And according to Peppe Di Stefano of Sky Italia, as cited by MilanNews, the Rossoneri management will look for favourable opportunities.

They simply don’t have the funds to spend €20-30m this month and will thus have to work with great focus to find the right man. Brest’s Lilian Brassier is an option, but the competition is growing and Milan are yet to decide whether to place an offer or not.

Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani will likely monitor the mercato closely in the upcoming weeks, also with an eye on a potential loan reinforcement. The reinforcement might not be imminent, in other words, but the intention is there.
