In today's print edition of the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is talk of Lilian Brassier, who is wanted by AC Milan.
According to what is reported, the 24-year-old target is honoured by the Rossoneri's interest and would be happy to wear the red and black shirt in the future. However, there are a couple of obstacles. Firstly, Milan is evaluating him along with other defenders, including Clément Lenglet, and they are trying to understand under what conditions they could come to Milan. It is not the time for definitive offers, at least not yet.
Monaco has already made an offer that exceeds Milan's current spending limit. At this point, it's a game of negotiation. Brassier hopes Milan will bring their offer closer to Monaco's.
Milan aims to acquire him from Ligue 1 outfit Brest for a figure below 10 million euros. The French club is watching closely, knowing that the fate is sealed and aiming to monetize.
AC Milan, for its winter transfer market, is seeking a central defender. With Thiaw, Tomori, and Kalulu injured, it's unavoidable. Matteo Gabbia has been brought back to Milan, and in January, another operation will take place. The initial idea was to get a central defender on loan from the Premier League: Milan tried with Jakub Kiwior - a firm 'no' came soon after from Arsenal. They also inquired about Kiwior's teammate, Takehiro Tomiyasu. Then, another firm 'no' arrived. For now, the Rossoneri management still considers Clément Lenglet, who is currently on loan from Barcelona to Aston Villa. Brassier belongs to the other category as he is a young defender in Ligue 1.
