With the exit of Alessio Romagnoli (who chose to sign with Lazio as a free agent) and Matteo Gabbia needing more experience and regular minutes elsewhere, AC Milan directors are looking for a reliable and affordable central defender in order to strengthen the squad of head coach Stefano Pioli before the start of the season.
According to the latest news reported by Calciostyle, the favourite choice in defence for Paolo Maldini right now is Tottenham's Japhet Tanganga. But, signing him will not be easy because the Premier League club would like to let him go on loan with an obligation to buy set at 20 million euros while the Rossoneri prefer to insert a buy-option instead.
Plan B for AC Milan seems easier...
Plan B, however, seems "simpler", adds the source. Abdou Diallo from PSG is the alternative profile for the Milanese management who might be signed on loan as the Ligue 1 champions are showing willingness to accept a transfer and negotiate terms. Paris Saint-Germain would also be willing to pay a small part of the player's salary to facilitate the deal, concludes the report.
