Alessio Romagnoli, team captain, has been spending majority of the time now on the bench. The starting centre-backs for coach Stefano Pioli are Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori who have proved to be a good pair.
The Italian central defender has his contract due to expire at the end of the current season and there are no signs that he should remain with AC Milan.
In fact, Mino Raiola, super Italian-Dutch agent, does not exclude that Romagnoli moves to Serie A rivals Juventus.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara must work, therefore, on providing the coaching staff with a solution regarding the defensive department.
A replacement for the Rossonero number 13 must be found and it seems that the club directors are ready to return to an old name who was reportedly close to a move to Milan.
According to what is revealed by Tuttosport, Alessio Romagnoli's heir could be Olympique de Marseille's jewel Boubacar Kamara. The French defender is also able to occupy the defensive midfielder role. He is yet to pen a new deal to renew his contract as his current deal expires in June 2022.
