One role that Milan seemed almost certain to invest in this summer was the right-back position, given that Kyle Walker, Alessandro Florenzi and now Emerson Royal have all left the club.
This leaves only Alexis Saelemaekers and Alex Jimenez, who are both certainly valuable assets but are more natural wing-backs given their propensity to get forward and contribute to the attacking phase.
With Pervis Estupinan having been signed for the left-back role, the name for the opposite flank has remained a mystery despite the various links. Now, the transfer plans could change entirely.
According to Matteo Moretto‘s latest video, Doué to Milan is losing momentum rapidly. The management are not convinced to continue pursuing Doué from an economic standpoint as Strasbourg are still asking for €30m total package.
Milan are evaluating to go for a cheaper right-back and re-allocate that budget for the striker position and for Ardon Jashari. Milan are ‘obsessed’ with Jashari and are still working to sign him. It remains to be seen if Milan decide to make another step.
