"the Milan directors made their evaluations together with the head coach Massimiliano Allegri, and in the end the club preferred to keep the current group of central defenders in the squad. Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic will remain the starting trio of a defensive group that have conceded 17 goals in the league so far (only Roma and Como have conceded fewer). Alongside them, Koni De Winter is growing, and is likely to start again this evening in Bologna."
"Chelsea's Frenchman Axel Disasi was who was for a time considered a potential reinforcement for the rearguard before joining West Ham. Instead, everything remains as it is and trust has been confirmed even in the younger players. Davide Bartesaghi is now a regular starter and can be used in the three-man defence, while Davide Odogu - who has only made one appearance in Serie A - was not loaned out."
AC Milan made no first-team defensive signings in the winter window and kept the existing centre-back group intact. Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic will form the starting trio, with Koni De Winter continuing his development and featuring in the squad. The defensive unit has conceded 17 league goals, fewer than most teams. The club did not pursue Axel Disasi after his move to West Ham. Younger defenders Davide Bartesaghi and Davide Odogu remain in the squad, with Bartesaghi a regular starter. Captain Mike Maignan renewed his contract through 2031.
