AC Milan started the year well with a victory against AS Roma. The triumph at the San Siro 3-1 against José Mourinho's side, however, does not hide the fact that the club needs reinforcements.
The main priority, as we have always told you, is signing a centre-back in January's transfer session. The idea is to replace Simon Kjaer who will be out until the rest of the season. The Dane is currently working alone to recover for the new season.
Sven Botman is the dream mercato shot for Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara. However, the demands of Lille cannot be met by the Rossoneri for now.
There is an idea that AC Milan, in case of not finding convincing profiles who suit the club's parameters and visions, would continue with Pierre Kalulu as the centre-back. It is a hypothesis that is gaining ground if Paolo Maldini would not be able to land a defender in January on loan, writes Calciostyle.it.
Another interesting defender, who is followed by Milan, though, is Nikola Milenkovic. The Serbian is wanted by the club and Stefano Pioli as well. But, a move for him in January is difficult. According to what is reported by the same source, the current head coach of AC Milan has spoken with Nikola Milenkovic during the recent holidays and has been able to get his approval for a possible move.
Nikola Milenkovic, 24, has a contract that is due to run out in June 2023. Fiorentina will certaily not be asking for 40 million euros anymore for him in the coming summer. The possible pricetag could be set at 15 million euros. AC Milan will try to sign the player by inserting the card of Matteo Gabbia in the negotiations.
