AC Milan club management is still working for the right opportunity to sign a defender who would add quality to the squad of coach Pioli as his team starts the journey to defend the Scudetto and hopefully go deeper in the Champions League competition. For the defence, the name of Japhet Tanganga was reportedly mentioned heavily when talking about the Rossoneri's mercato regarding the backline. But, it seems like a deal is unlikely now.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, AC Milan have not held any contacts again with Premier League side Tottenham for their versatile defender. The reason behind this 'rupture' is that the English insisted on inserting a buy-obligation in the loan operation while Milan did not want that.
