AC Milan finished the season while second in Serie A standings, thus managing to secure a Champions League qualification after so many years.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara now are tasked with sharpening the squad which is by signing new suitable players and good rotation squad ones.
One of the most useful players in terms of rotation and flexibility in the last season was Diogo Dalot who came on a dry loan move to the San Siro. He played many minutes while rotating with Theo Hernandez on the left and Davide Calabria on the right.
According to what is reported in today's edition of the Turin-based newspaper, Milan do like the Portuguese player's skills but an economic agreement can't be found with Manchester United as they are not open for a loan move. The Red Devils would only accept a buy-obligation or an immediate purchase of the full-back's card.
Instead, always according to the source, the Milan executives have intensified contacts with Real Madrid over the Spanish 25 year-old right-back Alvaro Odriozola.
