Besides working to sign a midfielder, the AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are also searching for a defender, someone who can replace Alessio Romagnoli who left to Lazio on a free transfer.
Negotiations for the transfer of Abou Diallo from Paris Saint-Germain have slowed down because the Senegalese defender is not convinced of joining the champions of Italy as he would like to be guaranteed a starting position in the lineup. That is why, Japhet Tanganga is back on the club's agenda.
According to what is reported today by Italy-based website Calciomercato.com, the contacts between AC Milan and Tottenham for the versatile defender have restarted.
Milan have reiterated the interest in Tanganga , but are not willing to accept the loan with the obligation of redemption set at 25 million euros. AC Milan, instead, want to sign him in a deal similar to the one that saw Fikayo Tomori join the red and black faithful: a loan deal with the option to buy.
At the moment there is distance between the parties, but new contacts are expected in the coming days, with Paratici who could return to Italy to meet the Milanese management.
