The rebuild or reset at AC Milan is taking shape in the minds of the relevant people. In fact, there are six targeted to come in.
A season of disappointment needs to be followed by a summer of action, and so far, Milan are laying the right foundations to do so. Scouting is already taking place for targets, and contacts are underway for the big ideas.
Super Six
As Gazzetta dello Sport write today, there are six starters targeted to start the season in Rossoneri, despite currently representing different colours. Even if the mercato is not open, the talks are beginning and ideas are flowing.
It starts in defence, where the Diavolo want to sign three starters: a left-back, a right-back and a central defender.
On the right, Marc Pubill’s name has emerged as a strong favourite, whilst Guela Doue also remains in the frame. Andrea Cambaiaso and Vanderson also have places on the shortlist, though their prices are high, maybe too high.
Giovanni Leoni leads the list for a central defender; the young Italian has what Milan hope for in a new addition. However, Mario Gila is also a possibility, especially with Igli Tare’s connections. At left-back, it seems North London is the hotspot, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Destiny Udogie are preferred. It is worth stating that the former is seen as an easier option.
Two midfielders are wanted after the signing of Luka Modric, and there is a clear preference for Granit Xhaka and Javi Guerra. Negotiations are underway in both cases, and it would take a lot for the club to look away now, you’d imagine.
Darwin Nunez, Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic are considered to lead the line it seems. What it seems, though, is that Massimiliano Allegri is certainly considering a dive into the market, but it will be after the Club World Cup.
