"A defender arriving in January looks increasingly likely for AC Milan, but who that will be is another thing entirely. Sergio Ramos' name has emerged, but can it happen? After the Supercoppa Italiana, Milan need a defender, and it has been proven clearer than ever before. Unfortunately for Koni De Winter, the Belgian has not proven to be able to replace Malick Thiaw, as many had hoped. So, another name is needed, for cover if nothing else."
"A Massimiliano Allegri defence is built on experience and effeciency, and adding an older name could bridge that gap. The idea of Thiago Silva returning was suggested as he filled those perameters. However, he has headed elsewhere. So, instead of him, the Rossoneri could make a move for another experienced option playing in South America: Sergio Ramos. The Spaniard would be available next month, but there are a few issues."
AC Milan will likely sign a defender in January to strengthen the backline after Supercoppa Italiana, as current options have not adequately replaced Malick Thiaw. Koni De Winter has failed to show he can cover the role, creating urgency for an experienced addition. Sergio Ramos is available and fits the profile of an older, experienced centre-back, but his reported salary in Mexico and current wage demands pose a major barrier. Milan are managing spending more conservatively, making a high-wage signing unlikely despite Ramos reportedly preferring a move to Italy.
