Both on the right and left flanks of the defense, Milan is exposed. On one side, there's Alex Jimenez, who will stay and is considered an asset of the club, and Emerson Royal, who instead will leave the club after just one year (barring any major surprises).
On the other side, there's only Davide Bartesaghi and possibly Filippo Terracciano, whose ideal position within Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical setup remains to be determined. Furthermore, on the left, the Rossoneri club has suffered a major loss with the departure of Theo Hernandez, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
As for the right flank, the main target has always seemed to be Guela Doué of Strasbourg. However, the French club is currently asking for too high a fee—€25 million. A concrete and realistic alternative is Marc Pubill, a young Spaniard from Almeria who is already part of the Spanish national team setup. Yet today, Tuttosport, while discussing Juventus—who have also entered the race for the Spanish player—reports:
"Milan is slowing down on Pubill. The jewel from Almeria is also being followed by Wolverhampton and the Rossoneri, who are taking their time."
According to reports, the Rossoneri want to complete other moves in different areas of the pitch first—particularly the left flank.
