The summer 2024 transfer window has begun, and AC Milan, albeit quietly and behind the scenes, is working to gift their new coach, Paulo Fonseca, with some reinforcements in several departments of the squad.
The goal of Rossoneri executives Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada, under the supervision of RedBird's Senior Advisor Gerry Cardinale and former striker Zlatan Ibrahimović, is to assemble a competitive team aiming to try to win the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia, and the Italian Supercup. Their ambition also extends to competing at the highest levels in the European elite comeptition, the UEFA Champions League.
To reach an important level in terms of quality, Milan managers seek an addition in defence. In this sense, the dream signing is Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino, as relayed via Pianeta Milan. However, the 'Granata' player is in advanced negotiations with Conte's Napoli, and signs point towards him joining their side. Alternatives like Jakub Kiwior from Arsenal remain valid, but one must consider that Milan will allocate a significant portion of their financial resources towards a central attacker and a midfield defender, possibly leading Furlani and Moncada to limit the spending on the other areas.
Therefore, for the defence, Milan is reportedly considering, as confirmed by BILD, Mats Hummels, born in 1988, a German central defender who has not renewed his contract with Borussia Dortmund and is now officially a free agent since yesterday. His addition would bring a lot of needed quality and experience to the Rossoneri squad: he recently played exceptionally well in a Champions League final, although Dortmund lost to Real Madrid. However, Hummels is not only attracting interest from Milan in Serie A. Following rumors linking him to Roma and Como (though Como is now focusing on Raphaël Varane), 'BILD' has highlighted Inter's interest in Hummels as well. Let's see if the Rossoneri can beat Inter this time for the free agent's signature.
