AC Milan are keen on finding a back-up left-back for Stefano Pioli's squad. The idea is to find a reliable but affordable player who can alternate with Theo Hernandez.
In that sense, the Rossoneri have found and identified Fodé Ballo-Touré and there are ongoing negotiations to land the player's card.
In the next few days, Massara and Maldini will try to close the deal on a basis of a loan with an option to buy, even though Monaco would prefer a buy-obligation. Moreover, an agreement on the transfer fee must also be found.
The French club evaluate their 24-year-old player at 8 million euros. Milan offers half of that fee. But, an agreement could be found in the middle at 6 million euros.
Fodé Ballo-Touré, in the previous season, made 29 appearances between the French Ligue 1 and the cup competition, and he managed to register 5 assists to his name.
