Milan, two-way race for defense reinforcement
Milan, two-way race for defense reinforcement
Milan’s priority ahead of the winter soccer market session will definitely be the purchase of a central defender, as Thiaw and Kalulu will be back available in February and March, respectively. To the two young players, in addition, there è also Simon Kjaer, who would not yet have recovered from the numerous muscle problems he had during this first part of the season. With just under a month to go before the opening of the market, two would be the main candidates followed by the Rossoneri.
According to a report by "La Gazzetta dello Sport", the first name would be that of Jakub Kiwior, who could leave Arsenal to find more minutes. The Rossoneri club, in fact, would have established contacts with the "Gunners" to try to find an understanding on the basis of a loan with right of redemption. However, at the moment, the English would be willing to sell the former Spezia only on an outright basis.
The alternative to the Polish defender would be Clément Lenglet, who at Aston Villa would not be finding much space. The French player è still owned by Barcelona, as he è landed in England on a loan deal. In addition, complicating the negotiations for the Rossoneri would be Bayern Munich's interest in the player. The Blaugrana club would be willing to recall from loan the transalpine only in case of outright transfer for a sum around 15 million euros.
In addition to the reinforcement in defense, Milan will also try to reinforce the attack, accomplice to the shortcomings shown by both Luka Jovic and Noah Ofakor as Olivier Giroud’s deputy. The profile that would be in pole for the "Devil" è that of Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart’s revelation center forward. The meneghini could win the player through the payment of the 17.5 million euros rescission clause present in the 1996 class striker's contract.
In conclusion, in all likelihood, any talk related to a possible landing in Milan of Jonathan David, Lille’s Canadian striker, will be moved to the summer market.
