"AC Milan are still looking for a centre-back who could arrive in January, but they are doing so without any real sense of urgency. According to Calciomercato.com, the head coach Massimiliano Allegri believes they need a central defender with experience and leadership to bolster the department. The management are looking for an opportunity on loan, which is not easy and has led to a stalemate that will likely persist."
"The players offered so far by agents and other clubs haven't received Igli Tare's full approval. Chelsea's Axel Disasi isn't entirely convincing, nor is Portuguese player Diogo Leite of Union Berlin, both of whom have been proposed to the Rossoneri. Federico Gatti's chances of arriving have plummeted despite Juventus practically putting him on the market because, given his characteristics, he doesn't fit into Luciano Spalletti's plans. A potential counter-part has yet to be agreed upon, with Milan reluctant to invest €25-30m to land Gatti now."
"Murillo, a Brazilian defender currently playing for Nottingham, is one of the players being closely monitored, but only for the summer window. Both Tare and Geoffrey Moncada appear to be big admirers of his. Liverpool's Joe Gomez remains a top choice for Milan, who intend to make contact with the Reds soon. The directors will continue to be active in the Premier League, looking for a defender with talent and leadership, but at a bargain price."
AC Milan are seeking a centre-back with experience and leadership, preferably on loan, to strengthen the defence in January. The club's management show no urgent rush and the search has stalled due to limited loan options and rejected proposals. Several defenders have been considered but failed to convince the sporting directors, including Axel Disasi and Diogo Leite, while Federico Gatti is not a fitting profile and would command a €25-30m fee. Murillo is monitored for summer, Tiago Gabriel is being tracked for a June move, and Liverpool's Joe Gomez is a primary target as Milan pursue value in the Premier League.
