TMW: Milan looking at four defensive targets in January across multiple leagues

AC Milan are looking at four different defensive targets that could be brought into the club during the January transfer window as they look to solve the injury crisis. 

According to Niccolo Ceccarini’s piece for TMW (via Pianeta Milan), the Rossoneri are now very busy ensuring that they have enough defensive options for the rest of the season.

It was already clear that some more depth was needed but the injuries to Pierre Kalulu and Marco Pellegrino have intensified the situation.

One of the players being looked at is Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly, but the Premier League side are not keen on losing him, even though his contract will be up at the end of the season. Tottenham attempted to sign him in the summer.

Over in France, there is Montpellier defender Maxime Esteve, who has been linked with Milan for a long time. A fee over €6-7 million could be enough to sign him.

Another slightly more expensive option would be PAOK’s Konstantinos Koulierakis. At least €10 million would be needed for the 2003-born star.

At left-back, the chances of signing Real Betis’ Juan Miranda continue to grow.
