The main candidate for the role of right-back at AC Milan at this stage is very clear: his name is Marc Pubill, he just turned 22 a month ago, and he plays for Almeria in Spain’s second division. Already part of the national team setup and just a step away from signing with Atalanta last year, a deal that fell through after the medical, he has now been placed at the top of the Rossoneri’s list to strengthen the right side of their defense, which, like the left without Theo Hernandez, is currently rather thin.
Yesterday, as reported by MilanNews.it, Milan sent members of their medical staff to conduct preliminary medical checks to assess the condition of the player’s knee. This was a precaution that the club wanted to take before initiating negotiations. On this matter, Tuttosport writes this morning:
"Pubill passes preliminary tests, Tare ready to launch final push with Almeria."
The medical exams returned positive results, and thus an official offer to the Spanish club is expected imminently. Milan won’t be able to wait too long, as Wolverhampton from the Premier League has also been pushing for the player for some time.
