To reinforce the defense, AC Milan directors are working in the mercato with an eye on the right-back position. The starter is Davide Calabria, but a reliable deputy is needed. Last season, Diogo Dalot, proved to be a solid rotation option for Stefano Pioli.
The player returned to Manchester United, however, after expiry of the loan move.
Manchester United are reportedly in the market for a right-back, and they have settled on pursuing the signature of Kieran Trippier. His arrival, could mean that Dalot's move to Milan would be faciliatated.
According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Kieran Trippier situation is still quiet as Manchester United need to clarify Diogo Dalot future. The Portuguese versatile fullback is wanted by the Rossoneri. However, the Red Devils are asking for a 4 to 5 million euros fee for the loan plus the buy-option.

Atletico Madrid are NOT considering Florenzi as replacement. He’s not even an option. ❌ @MatteMoretto
