"Several defensive options are being considered by AC Milan currently, and with the no to Thiago Silva, things can be clarified slightly. Koni De Winter's performances this season have not given Milan the assurances that they required to trust him as the first reserve. So, another central defender should arrive this January, but the Rossoneri are working under strict parameters. After a summer of investment, RedBird are reluctant to sanction any deals, so the mercato will be one of loans."
"Perhaps, deals will have buy options, but nothing mandatory, with further assessments being made in the summer. Six, four or two? As a result, the list of options shrinks quite drastically. Calciomercato.com write that Mario Gila is the ideal option, but he is not attainable in the winter, especially with the parameters set. Then, Arnau Martinez's profile is interesting, but €14 million seems too much at this moment."
AC Milan is seeking another central defender for January after Thiago Silva declined, due to insufficient assurance from Koni De Winter as first reserve. RedBird ownership limits spending after summer investments, so the club will pursue loan deals, possibly with non-mandatory buy options, and reassess in summer. Several targets are unattainable or too expensive in winter under current parameters, narrowing the list. Tarik Muharemovic and Jay Idzes are likelier for summer moves unless a generous offer appears. Axel Disasi and Niklas Sule are the most realistic January options, with salary and contract considerations.
