Priority defense: the latest missteps with Pisa and Parma have highlighted the difficulties of Milan’s defensive department. Massimiliano Allegri has long been asking for reinforcements in that area of the field that would give more certainty and peace of mind to the entire team, and sporting director Igli Tare is working to succeed in satisfying him in the upcoming January market session.

The hottest name for January remains that of Mario Gila, currently a starter for Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio. The Diavolo is pressing to reach an agreement with the biancocelesti for the Spaniard’s transfer, but at the moment Claudio Lotito has put up a wall and a major offer will be needed to convince the Capitolini to sell him in a few months.

The two foreign options are Liverpool&#8217s Joe Gomez and Union Berlin&#8217s Diogo Leite, while in Italy they like Parma&#8217s Alessandro Circati, Lecce&#8217s Tiago Gabriel and Sassuolo&#8217s Tarik Muharemovic. The only certainty is that Allegri was clear at the last market summit: a major reinforcement in the defense is essential to continue competing for the top of the league table.
