The draw against Cagliari left Milan with a bitter taste in their mouths in the last match before the international break.
After 12 rounds, the Rossoneri find themselves fluctuating between highs and lows: on one hand, the derby win and the Champions League victory against Real Madrid; on the other, a seventh place behind all the other top teams.
January is just around the corner, and the team needs reinforcements to bounce back. The management is already identifying their transfer strategy: they need a central midfielder to rotate with Fofana, but that’s not all.
One of the most vulnerable positions is left-back, with no adequate cover behind Theo Hernandez. Over the last two years, when Theo has been unavailable, various players accustomed to playing on the opposite side of the field have filled in. Former Verona player Filippo Terracciano has been the most convincing option for the coach, but it’s not enough. That’s why the Rossoneri are looking around to strengthen that position.
AC Milan's transfer market news - Fabiano Parisi on the Rossoneri's radar?
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Rossoneri club is considering Fabiano Parisi, a 2000-born player who caught their eye when he was at Empoli and is now at Fiorentina, where he’s overshadowed by Gosens and Biraghi.
Milan, what are the conditions to sign Fabiano Parisi
At the moment, Fiorentina has not planned to sell Parisi, but with two players (Gosens and Biraghi) already covering that position, they might consider a sale.
The player is highly regarded by head coach Paulo Fonseca, and a loan deal could be the right condition to satisfy both clubs and open negotiations.
This season, Parisi has played 10 matches across Serie A and the Conference League, scoring his first goal for Fiorentina in the 6-0 win against Lecce.
At Milan, he could arrive as Theo Hernandez's backup, with the potential, if he impresses, to claim the left flank in the future and become a starter.
