AC Milan managing directors want to keep the squad on a high competitive level. The team is now now joint league leaders with Napoli with 32 points each. But, to stay at the top, important reinforcements are needed for the Rossoneri who suffered their first defeat in the Serie A last Saturday against Fiorentina.
The loss to La Viola proved that the club really is in need of very good players on the pitch and on the bench. Quality rotation is key in order to stay at the top.

In this sense, one of the goals for Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara could be to find a new central-defender in order to reinforce the defensive department. A player who can represent a good opportunity for the directors is currently at AS Roma.
AC Milan interested in 23-year-old Brazilian defender Ibanez?
Maldini may be interested in Roger Ibanez, who also attracts the attention of Serie A rivals Juventus, reports Calciomercatonews.com. Il Diavolo club management have seen and understood that the defensive line is in need of more quality players and that is why they can intervene in the market and sign the promising player of Roma.

Roger Ibanez is valued somewhere between 20 to 25 million euros, AC Milan could try to beat the competition coming from Juventus to land the central defender by saving some extra money and cutting costs in terms (letting go of some unwanted players).
