AC Milan have some serious issues in the defensive area and that much was observed in the summer friendlies. It is true that what really matter are the official games and there is no full chemistry in the squad just yet, but Stefano Pioli has to be provided with a new defender.
According to what is reported by Milannews.it, the name of Marco Pellegrino seems to be at the top right now for the Rossoneri management. The Argentine club's initial asking price is set at 8 million euros. The AC Milan management aims to lower these financial demands.
Konstantinos Koulierakis is also on the radar and he is valued by his club, PAOK, at 10 million euros plus bonuses. However, the pricetag is also considered too high.
AC Milan continue to monitor other names for a reinforcement in defence...
The Rossoneri are on the hunt for a defender in this late stage of the transfer market and are exploring 3-4 names: those of the Italo-Argentinian and the Greek are among these; both are highly regarded by the Milan scouts who are evaluating whom and how to acquire. What is certain, however, is that a defender will arrive: Tomori and Thiaw will be the starting central pair, Kjaer, depending on his physical condition, will be the first alternative, with Kalulu switching between the right-back and central positions. One more addition in defence is missing, and that missing piece should arrive soon.
