AC Milan's starting left-back is without a doubt Theo Hernàndez who is regarded as one of Europe's best fullbacks at the moment. His speed and offensive contribution make him a modern player that every team wishes to have.
However, having the best left-back in the league, does not mean that signing another player in that position unnecessary. On the contrary, however, a backup is needed.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara want to find a good alternative for the French flying fullback. Diogo Dalot was important for the team because he has shown his ability to play in both flanks but signing him permanently from Manchester United is very difficult as the Red Devils start from a valuation of 20 million euros.
That is why, Milan could shift their focus to an old acquaintance that was linked with a move to Milanello in previous transfer windows: Junior Firpo.
The Spanish will be leaving Barcelona after the confirmation of coach Koeman's stay. In fact, his agents are in Italy and could soon hold a meeting with Milan management. At the moment this is only an idea, but if the financial situation allows it, concrete steps could be made, writes Calciomercato.com.
