Sports Warm Winter Creation Season
The Europa League is the winter transfer window has officially opened, and AC Milan are stepping up their recruitment of central defenders. The club's management have already confirmed the early recall of Italian centre-back Gabia, who joined on loan at the start of the season from La Liga side Villarreal, in the hope that he can quickly fill the void left by the injury absence of Fikayo Tomori, Gafu and Kalulu and form a temporary defensive partnership with Kjaer and Simic.
Meanwhile, Moncada and Franey are also looking to bring in another centre-back on loan in case they need it, and they have already looked at a number of suitable options. Lenglet is a constant eye on the spot, but Villa don't seem willing to end their loan deal with Barcelona earlyBournemouth also don't want to let go of their main defender Kelly midway through the season, preferring to let him leave on a free transfer when his contract expires next summerThe 25-year-old Japanese defender has largely lost his place at Arsenal and has made just 20 appearances this season, only half of which have been starts, with one goal and three assists.
It is worth mentioning that defender Demiral, who has played for Atalanta and Juventus, has also been shortlisted, and he officially switched to the Saudi league before this season. However, given the player's high salary, the deal to bring him back to the Apennine Peninsula does not seem realistic, and AC Milan will struggle to offer a transfer fee that will satisfy the Middle Easterner**.
The closest to joining at the moment is Ligue 1 Brest Blasier, who was strongly recommended by Moncada, the head of scouting. The 24-year-old is a regular in France's youth teams at all levels and can play as either centre-back or left-back, filling both holes in the Rossoneri's squad. At the same time, he can switch between a back four and a back three, adding more tactical flexibility to the team, and the transfer fee of around $10 million is expected to convince the opposition to let go and beat the competition from the likes of Monaco and Porto.
Meanwhile, transfer talks for Real Betis full-back Miranda could also be aborted due to changes to Italy's tax laws. Although the player's current contract expires at the end of the season, and the two sides have already been in close contact before, AC Milan will have to pay more pre-tax costs for the Spaniard under the new policy. For a player who is single-minded and only positioned as a member of the Special Olympics rotation, the Rossoneri management Moncada and Franey need to reconsider the rationale for a deal.
Rather than spending more money to bring in a substitute, it is better to put more energy into the development and training of young players such as Balt Sacchi. Not really, AC Milan could also consider recalling Senegalese Balo Toure, who spent last summer on loan at Fulham in the Premier League, who hasn't been given much game time this season. And according to the rules, contracts that have already been signed in the past will not be affected, and will not lead to an increase in costs for the club, which is also a reasonable option for the Rossoneri, who strictly control salary spending.
