AC Milan are now accelerating for a centre-back as they look to reinforce the defensive area of Stefano Pioli's lineup after the injury of both starting defenders: Fikayo Tomori and Simon Kjaer.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are working together with the scouting department to find the missing piece to the puzzle. Evaluations are ongoing on different profiles. Now, a new name has been reportedly added to the shortlist.
According to news from Derniére Heure in Belgium, AC Milan have set their sights on Bologna's Belgian 21-year-old starlet who is currently on loan at Bologna in Serie A from KV Oostende: Arthur Theate.
Bologna has an obligation to buy if certain conditions are met and the player seems to be doing well with them. From centre-back position, he scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. He played 15 Serie A games so far.
According to the source, the young defender seems to be valued at around 20 million euros. But, a move this winter is unlikely.
