AC Milan want to reinforce their squad also in defence and in that sense, Japhet Tanganga has been linked with a move to the San Siro.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, Tanganga has promised himself to Milan, but he won't wait long. It is not a question of desire, because the Tottenham defender has eyes only for the Devil, the point, if anything, is another: in this market for the Rossoneri: there is one eye on the budget and another on the objectives to be achieved, the deal for the reinforcement in defense is intertwined with that for the attacking midfielder. More simply: if Maldini and Massara manage to close for De Ketelaere, then the attempt for the English central defender will be done.
Otherwise, the amount of money offered to Club Brugge for Charles De Ketelaere could be invested in other players as the (Hakim) Ziyech trail would cost much less than the 21-year-old Belgian.
As for Tanganga, within the weekend we'll understand the matter more. How long will he wait for Milan? The contacts with the player's entourage are constant and have led the parties to give themselves a deadline in line with that of the other negotiation: by Sunday the knots will be dissolved and Tanganga will know if he will be able to switch from the white shirt to the Rossoneri one. The position of the 23-year-old who grew up in the Spurs Academy does not change: AC Milan is the most wanted destination for him, the priority that undermines all other options. Because the technical project is based on young people and the example of Tomori, who landed in Milan with a handful of appearances in Chelsea and grew up with Pioli, shows that the Rossoneri environment is the ideal place to add much experience and successes to one's resumé.
