AC Milan are not only focused on strengthening the attacking midfield department, but there is the will of reinforcing the defensive area too especially given the exit of Alessio Romagnoli on a free to Lazio. Right now, Pioli can rely on Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer and Matteo Gabbia for the centre-back role. The latter, however, could be soon leaving as he wants to play regular first-team football. A loan move for him is possible and therefore, Milan must bring in someone to replace him.
According to what is reported by Milannews.it, AC Milan are keen on Tottenham's Japhet Tanganga. In fact, contacts have already taken place in recent weeks with his entourage after having followed him also in the January transfer market window.
The idea for Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara is to try and sign the Tottenham defender on loan with an option to buy, the same formula which was used with Chelsea to sign Fikayo Tomori. AC Milan remain hopeful that the negotiations will be successful and that Tanganga also shows the same level of performance and quality as his compatriot Fikayo Tomori.
