The Rossoneri directors do not want to buy a player's card just for the sake of it. Instead, they are taking their time to find the right opportunity.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, Eric Bailly who's been on the club's radar for some time represents a deal that can be done.
The newspaper writes that the Ivory Coast star who is 27 years old could be the latest addition of AC Milan in the market as Manchester United seem to be open for a loan move.
The other name being considered is Abdou Diallo with Paris Saint-Germain asking for 20 to 25 million euros to let him walk away.
Tottenham, however, have said no to Japhet Tanganga for now. But, he remains a target. If one of these defenders already mentioned were to arrive, then Mattia Gabbia could leave on loan.
