Tuttosport: Buongiorno now, Anselmino for the future – Milan’s centre-back strategy

While there is a lot of talk about the striker signing that AC Milan will make this summer, the management also know that they must invest in the defence too.

As reported by Tuttosport (via MilanNews) this mroning, a new name seems to have appeared on the list of targets: Aaron Anselmino, a central defender born in 2005 who plays for Boca Juniors, gifted with a great physique and close to being called up to the Argentine national team.

Anselmino is one of the most interesting gems of Argentine football, but he is clearly a profile for the future given that we are talking about an 18-year-old who still has limited top flight experience for the moment.

However, Milan have also accustomed us to signings of this kind and therefore he is a name to keep an eye on with great attention. Anselmino would not be a starter, but Geoffrey Moncada likes the teenager and is tempted by his €20m release clause.

In the summer, however, Milan will also need a more ‘ready’ centre-back and the dream continues to be Alessandro Buongiorno of Torino. The Rossoneri tried in January for the Granata captain, but received a refusal from Urbano Cairo.

In the coming months they will certainly make a new attempt, aware however that the requests from the Piedmontese club will be high, so the other options are: Maxence Lacroix (Wolfsburg), Lilian Brassier (Brest), Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal), Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham) and Lloyd Kelly (Bournemouth).
