In this winter transfer window, Milan tried to sign a central defender, but more with an eye on the future than for Massimiliano Allegri’s current squad. In particular, the departure of Matteo Dutu to Dinamo Bucharest left a gap to fill in the Milan Futuro roster under Massimo Oddo.
For this reason, the Rossoneri had come very close to signing Juwensley Onstein, a 2007-born center-back, who was ultimately snapped up by Barcelona.
From Via Aldo Rossi, attention then shifted to El Hadj Malick Cissè, a 2008-born Senegalese central defender, 185 cm tall, who currently plays in his home country at the 'Be Sport Academy' in Dakar, the capital of the nation that just won the African Championship.
The news was reported by Luca Bianchin, a journalist for Gazzetta dello Sport, who highlighted that Cissè starred for the Senegalese national team at the U17 World Cup in November and was also being tracked by Barcelona and Leipzig.
