AC Milan managers Paolo Maldini want to reinforce the squad of coach Stefano Pioli with an important mercato campaign. As per rumours, there is the will to make additions in the defence, midfield and attack. But, regarding the defence, there is the recovery of Simon Kjaer, which can feel like a new signing, as he was absent since December 2021.
Tuttosport writes that the Dane defender will represent 'the extra purchase' for the club. The former Sevilla and Lille defender reassured coach Stefano Pioli about his physical condition and now, signing a defender is no longer a priority, it seems.
Kjaer is fine, of course he will have to continue to follow a personalized program to alternate with sessions with his teammates, but at the age of 33 the central player wants to continue to be an important player of Milan in the locker room but also in the pitch. He wants to reach a top form in order to be ready for the Qatar World Cup 2022 in November.
In fact, with the Dane player back in action, coach Stefano Pioli could try to use a 3-man defence with Kalulu on the right, Fikayo Tomori on the left and Simon Kjaer in the centre. The tactician will work on different ideas this summer and he will have to evaluate carefully and closely the condition of the 33-year-old star before anything. Simon Kjaer, in fact, will play some minutes against Koln this Saturday. If he shows his usual qualities and form, then Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara will not be in a rush to sign a defender, concludes Tuttosport.
