There continues to be rumours surrounding two of Milan’s central defenders above all: Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori. The former is believed to be a concrete target for Bayer Leverkusen, and there has even been talk about him being included in the Granit Xhaka negotiations.
Gianluca Di Marzio confirms that Milan are considering changes in their defensive department, one that Massimiliano Allegri – who likes his teams to be solid at the back – will hope to improve
While waiting for several outgoing situations to be resolved, Milan continues to keep an eye on several profiles that could improve the squad, and this includes centre-backs.
If Thiaw, Tomori or another player in the position were to leave, the first name on the wish list would be that Giovanni Leoni of Parma. The report adds that the Rossoneri are trying to get ‘ahead of the competition’ to land him.
Another name is Pietro Comuzzo of Fiorentina. The 20-year-old had a breakout season with La Viola, and as a result the club will want a big fee to part with him
