The injury of Simon Kjaer is making AC Milan managers look hard in the market to find a new centre-back who can replace the Dane experienced player. The former Lille and Sevilla defender is ruled out of the season and Maldini must find a good and affordable solution to this issue.
One of the names that is linked with AC Milan, reportedly, is Chelsea's star Antonio Rudiger. The German defender has a contract expiring at the end of the season.
As per MilanPress.it who cite English sources, Real Madrid are on Chelsea's star as they are looking for an opportunity to snatch the former AS Roma central defender on a pre-contract. The Blues, however, are not giving up and want to keep the player with them. For Milan, it is a tough competition to land the 28-year-old star who has been showing great performances this season.
