"AC Milan could add another wingback in the latter parts of the January mercato, and a lot of it will be down to Alexis Saelemaekers. In the summer, there were questions about how Milan could cope without any real established right-back or wing-back depth. Of course, Saelemaekers would take the leading role, after a fantastic season with AS Roma. However, Fikayo Tomori and Zachary Athekame were the two options to follow him; with respect, a quite substantial drop."
"After the Lecce win, Saelemaekers was seen with an ice pack around his thigh, and Massimiliano Allegri has since said that he needs the Belgian to recover in time to face his former club. So, that leaves the Rossoneri without one of their biggest assets. So, as Calciomercacto.com writes, this could push the management to look to the mercato. Brooke Norton-Cuffy has been a name of interest for a while now, and if an opportunity arises, it could be taken."
AC Milan currently lacks established right-back or wing-back depth, leaving Alexis Saelemaekers as the primary option. Fikayo Tomori and Zachary Athekame serve as backup options but represent a significant drop in quality. Saelemaekers sustained a thigh concern after the Lecce win and was seen with an ice pack, prompting Massimiliano Allegri to stress the need for recovery before facing Saelemaekers' former club. Club management is monitoring the mercato for extra cover and has long held interest in Brooke Norton-Cuffy. Any wing-back signing will be assessed at the end of the window, with a possible June move for the Genoa player if needed.
