Milan market, to reinforce the defense there's the champion of Barcelona

In Igli Tare&#8217s market plans there is also the purchase of a new defender to shore up the defensive department at Massimiliano Allegri&#8217s disposal and to increase the team&#8217s overall experience rate. According to Spanish sources, the Rossoneri club is closely monitoring the situation of Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen. The Danish center-back has an expiring contract with the Catalan club and the club does not seem willing to extend his deal with him. Joan Laporta would prefer to sell him in January to avoid losing him for zero in the summer but it will be very hard: interested clubs will wait until July to sign him.

Growing up in the ranks of Bröndby, Andreas Christensen joined Chelsea’s youth team as a young boy, then in 2015 was promoted to the first team. To allow him to grow and play with continuity, the English sold him on loan to
Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he remained until the summer of 2017. After five more years in the Chelsea shirt, he left the English club for free in 2022 to move to Barcelona. Last season he had several injuries including an’inflammation of the Achilles tendon that kept him away from the field for a very long time.

Milan management is also working to resolve the complicated situation of Mike Maignan: the strong Frenchman has an agreement with the club valid until June and negotiations for renewal are stuck. There is a big difference between supply and demand, which is why talks set up months ago by Giorgio Furlani have broken down. Last summer Chelsea tried to sign Maignan but Milan opposed it, confident that a renewal deal could be struck. This was not the case and now Igli Tare is considering various profiles to replace the Frenchman should he leave Milan in the summer.

In the last few hours, a surprise hypothesis has popped up: James Trafford is unhappy with his meager minutes at Manchester City and sees no future ahead given the competition from Gianluigi Donnarumma. According to English sources, the young star has reportedly asked his entourage to consider alternative options for a possible summer transfer. A number of Premier League clubs are on his trail (Newcastle first and foremost) and he will certainly not be a cheap shot, however, he has huge potential and could be the starter at his next club for a very long time given his young age. According to Transfermarkt he has a value of 30 million euros.
