GdS: Non-EU players and a centre-back - Milan's strategy for the final week of the window
"We are now in the final week of the winter transfer window, and there is a possibility that AC Milan's business could be done. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan begin the final stretch of the January mercato 'remaining vigilant and evaluating potential opportunities'. Another positive performance from Koni De Winter has shown that a signing for the defence perhaps isn't as urgent."
"This doesn't mean another centre-back won't arrive, allowing David Odogu to be loaned out. However, it must be the right formula (loan with an option to buy) and someone who provides guarantees. It can not be a young player to develop, so they must be experienced. Kim Min-jae was highly sought after, but Bayern Munich won't let him go, and his salary is prohibitive."
"Looking ahead to next season, Igli Tare has been eyeing Mario Gila (for some time), who Lazio is currently unwilling to sell now. In June however, the situation could change. Keep an eye on the movements for Milan Futuro (and beyond). The Rossoneri have two non-EU player slots to fill, and they want to do so. Andrej Kostic is liked, but Partizan Belgrade's demands are deemed too high. A last-ditch attempt shouldn't be ruled out."
AC Milan enter the final week of the winter transfer window possibly with business largely complete, while remaining vigilant and evaluating potential opportunities. Koni De Winter’s recent positive displays have reduced the urgency to sign a centre-back immediately. The club remains open to recruiting a defender to enable David Odogu's loan, but demands an experienced player on a loan with an option to buy rather than a young project. Bayern will not sell Kim Min-jae and his salary is prohibitive. Igli Tare has monitored Mario Gila, though Lazio resists selling until June when circumstances could change. Milan seek to fill two non-EU slots, targeting Andrej Kostic and planning to register Senegalese defender El Hadj Malick Cissé for one slot.
