AC Milan continue the search for an affordable defender to reinforce Stefano Pioli's team. Following the eight signings made since the start of the transfer window, it is evident that the Rossoneri squad is significantly strengthening, especially in the attacking department. But, the club is now focusing on the defensive line, as relayed by PianetaMilan.it, the latest name on the radar is Maxime Esteve from Montpellier.
The hunt for a backup defender is ongoing. Alternatives are needed for the central defensive position and also for the left-back. After Gabbia's exit on loan to Villarreal, the AC Milan management now wants to sign someone who can follow in the footsteps of Malick Thiaw.
According to reports from colleagues at Tuttosport, the Rossoneri management has immediately started working to secure the French player of Montpellier.
