"Mile Svilar, for example, could have been Milan's goalkeeper if Maignan had left in the summer. The Giallorossi's number one was the player the Rossoneri most wanted in the event of the Frenchman leaving for Chelsea in June. The answer from Roma: Svilar is unsellable. The Giallorossi had no intention of losing their starting goalkeeper, who has always given priority to his current club, and they got him to renew until 2030 with a pay rise to €3.5m net per year."
"The Belgian defender had just finished a good season with the Rossoblu, and Gian Piero Gasperini highlighted him as a target for the defence. After the sale of Malick Thiaw, Milan had the need to sign another centre-back and the liquidity to do so. Despite links with Giovanni Leoni and Pietro Comuzzo, the Belgian was considered the best profile in terms of quality/cost ratio, signing for €20m."
Milan and Roma explored several transfer options between them, including a possible Dovbyk-Gimenez swap that was not fully pursued. Mile Svilar emerged as a primary Milan target if Maignan had departed, but Roma refused to sell and secured Svilar on a contract through 2030 with increased wages. Roma eyed Koni De Winter while he was at Genoa; Milan needed a centre-back after Malick Thiaw's sale and ultimately signed the Belgian for €20m. Milan and Roma also discussed Alexis Saelemaekers, with Roma willing to offer a player in exchange, but Allegri prevented the sale and renewal talks continue.
