If there's one thing that hasn’t worked at Milan this season—among many—it’s the defensive phase.
The clearest indication of this isn’t just the goals conceded and the manner in which they were let in, but also the constant changes in the central defensive pairing from match to match.
Even during Fonseca’s time, the two centre-backs rotated almost every game, and the trend has continued under Conceição, albeit with a bit more stability. It’s clear, then, that for next season the Rossoneri will be looking at the transfer market with this issue in mind.
Today, Tuttosport raises the issue and provides an update on the Devil’s defensive department, starting with two names that could end up on Milan’s shortlist and have been tracked by Rossoneri scouts for quite some time: “Mosquera-Coppola, Milan rebuilds the defense.” The subheading reads: “Reinforcing the centre-back unit will be one of the priorities in the transfer market: leading the race are the giants from Valencia and Verona.” And further in the subtitle: “Monitored for months, both could even arrive. Tomori heading for an exit.”
