Milan transfer market, Dragusin-Buongiorno: intrigue for a top defender immediately

Milan transfer market, hunt for defender after Gabbia and Terracciano

Milan are looking for a defender in this winter transfer market session (while the case for an attacker is cooling given the performance of Luka Jovic), beyond the early return (which occurred) of Matteo Gabbia from Villarreal and the arrival of Filippo Terracciano (the 2003 born player taken from Verona is actually more of a midfielder/mezzala possibly). The Rossoneri's focus on a central defender to strengthen a department put to the test by injuries (Kalulu, Thiaw and Tomori) has been a certainty for weeks. The news is that the club from via Aldo Rossi could also focus on a leading profile, investing, rather than going on a loan with right of redemption to stem the emergency. Obviously if the right opportunity presented itself. And in this sense there are two hot names on Moncada and Furlani's notebook.

Milan transfer market, Dragusin from Genoa? Tottenham's sprint over the Rossoneri and Bayern Munich

The first came out, surprisingly in the last few hours: Radu Dragusin. Genoa's 21-year-old Romanian defender is one of the prized pieces of this session and Milan have made a move on him by putting a very welcome technical counterpoint on Grifone's plate: the striker – on loan at Monza – Lorenzo Colombo. A move that had led to the overtaking of Napoli, who were now out of the running for the former Juventus centre-back, but also Tottenham.

Only then two external factors took over which complicated the Dragusin track: the entrance on the scene of Bayern Monaco with 30 million on the negotiating table. And the Spurs' counter-raise who are ready to invest the same amount (including bonuses) with the addition of Djed Spence and strongly want to bring the defender to London. This is why Tottenham are now one step away from the player.

The other name, as welcome as Radu Dragusin at Milan, is that of Alessandro Buongiorno: the 24-year-old Torino defender had resisted Atalanta's enticements in the summer in order to continue wearing the granata shirt. Today the Devil tries to tempt him, but in addition to the boy, Urbano Cairo must be convinced to let go of one of his jewels (as well as midfielder Samuele Riccianother profile considered interesting for the Rossoneri, but only if Fenerbhace makes the right offer for Rade Krunic): also in this case the key could be represented by the insertion of Lorenzo Colombo. Toro also likes the Under 21 striker a lot.

Milan transfer market, Brassier: international competition

Dragusin and Bongiorno 5-star targets for the Milan defense in addition to the 24-year-old from Brest Lilian Brassier for which Monaco offered 10 million and also followed by Bayer Leverkusen and Porto. “We've been following him for a long time too, I've known him for 5 years. He's an interesting player. He's on our list, but we don't have any agreement either with him or with Brest”, said Geoffrey Moncada in the past few hours.

Milan transfer market, Adarabioyo in June?

In the last hours in key Milan the name of also came up Tosin Adarabioyo, but the Fulham born in 1997 – who grew up in Manchester City – seems more like a target for July, when he will expire with the English club and can be taken on a free transfer. Same situation for Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth (Juventus are also on his trail).
