AC Milan are already projecting towards the next market and Maldini is monitoring two very young Ligue 1 defenders.
The Rossoneri, despite the bad defeat against Spezia, are still in the running for the league title and on Sunday in the derby, they will have a chance to return to the top spot stepping over Inter who gained the top spot by beating Lazio.
Meanwhile, Paolo Maldini is already working towards the future and is planning for next season to try to make the team even more competitive, continuing along the line already adopted this year, investing in young players.
The Rossoneri are already one of the youngest teams in the league and many already look like veterans: from Donnarumma to Theo Hernandez and Leao. Others like Tonali and Brahim Diaz have yet to grow but they have great room for improvement and the club strongly believes in them.
AC Milan are looking to the future and could soon begin their hunt in France: in recent weeks Paolo Maldini has targeted two very young Lens defenders and could soon speed up operations to bring them to Italy.
The first youngster in question is Loic Badé, a 2000-class central defender who is showing off with Lens in his first season in Ligue 1. 20 league games in which he showed great physical and athletic skills, earning the place as starter.
The other target is Facundo Medina, an Argentine left-back born in '99, a native of Villa Fiorito. He too has become a Lens starter and has already scored 2 goals in 17 Ligue 1 matches. He started in the River Plate youth academy and now his qualities are starting to be noticed by European clubs.
In addition to the two young players from Lens, Milan also follows another defender, certainly more established, Junior Firpo, but on the Dominican-Spaniard there is strong competition from the Premier League clubs, in particular from Tottenham. If there are some outings at the Rossoneri, such as those of Castillejo and Saelemaekers. The defensive goals could become even more viable tracks.
Milan continues to constantly monitor its goals from a distance, so as not to arrive unprepared for the summer transfer market, as reported by calciomercatonews.com.
