AC Milan are still in the market for a centre-back this summer, a report claims, with two players in particular attracting interest.
The Rossoneri are looking to partner captain Alessio Romagnoli with a reliable centre-back this summer, and Tuttosport (via MilanNews) claims that Celtic’s Kristoffer Ajer and Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic remain the main targets.
Mateo Musacchio is destined to leave, Leo Duarte has had a lot of injury problems and Matteo Gabbia is considered not quite mature enough to be a permanent starter currently.
As a result, signing Simon Kjaer from Sevilla on a permanent basis will not be enough and that is why the management are moving for another central defender.
Calciomercato.com recently claimed that Ajer remains a ‘priority’ for the Rossoneri in their search for a new defender but Leicester are also interested.
Meanwhile, La Nazione (via Calciomercato.com) stated on Sunday that Fiorentina are experiencing great difficulties in the negotiations with Milenkovic’s agent over a renewal, but that a €30m asking price has been set.
