"AC Milan's defensive record has been their main strength this season, and there is the possibility of further reinforcement in January. Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic are the pillars of the three-man back line and at the moment each of them look immovable. However, with the winter window just around the corner, it cannot be ruled out that another piece is added to the department."
"At the moment, the only replacement is Koni De Winter, and he has offered mixed performances. David Odogu - acquired at the end of August for around €10m - has yet to get even a single minute of Serie A action, and could be loaned out. Such a small bench could become a problem in the event of injuries or necessary rotation, which is why the Milan management are evaluating targeted signings without excessive fees needed."
"Chelsea central-back Axel Disasi is once again being considered as a viable option. The 27-year-old has played very little this season, and was evaluated by Milan in the summer. A move in January could be facilitated by the good relationship between the two clubs. Thiago Silva is also a possibility, as he's considering a final European experience. In recent days, there have been discussions with the Brazilian's entourage, but Milan currently don't seem convinced."
AC Milan's defensive record is the team's main strength this season, anchored by Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in a three-man back line. The current depth is limited, with Koni De Winter the only regular replacement and David Odogu yet to appear in Serie A after his late-August arrival. The small bench raises concerns about injuries and rotation, prompting management to evaluate low-cost, targeted signings. Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi is being reconsidered after limited playing time, with good club relations easing a potential move. Thiago Silva is a possible short-term option, though age and a backup role create doubts. The aim is to add a reliable alternative without disrupting the working defence.
