AC Milan was not able to sign Sven Botman from Lille due to the financial demands of the French club, which Newcastle were happy to satisfy. But, the idea to reinforce the defensive department of the Rossoneri is still there for the two club directors Paolo Maldiin and Frederic Massara.

According to what was reported by La Repubblica in their website earlier, Paolo Maldini has made his choice for the centre-back area: he wants Abdou Diallo. The Rossoneri club are ready to sign the Paris Saint-Germain Senegalese defender on loan with a buy-option.
Abdou Diallo is 26 years old. His contract with the French champions expires in June 2024. The former Borussia Dortmund player made only 16 appearances last season with his club.
