DONE DEAL: AC Milan closes the deal for Real Madrid’s star defender as the club seeks to strengthen its first team.

In the upcoming mercato, AC Milan will look to add reinforcement to their first team, but they also must pursue the market for any openings for their future squads, and the Rossoneri have set their sights on a Real Madrid youngster.

The Achilles heel of Milan’s 2023/24 season was undoubtedly the defensive crisis, and this is known by the management. Therefore, a new central defender will be welcomed to the club during this summer, but it is vital to look to the future as well.

More than ever, the mercato is massively inflated, and prices are soaring, which means clubs must be smart with their business – for example, the Diavolo cannot spend €100 million on a striker, given they are in desperate need of at least four players.

Looking at Diavolo’s shortlist, there is a conveyor belt of alternatives that keep reappearing. Jakub Kiwior and Lillian Brassier were extensively linked in the winter market and are now emerging as possible investments, and Alessandro Buongiorno is in a similar situation.

Regardless of who is chosen as the next central defender, Milan must look for openings in the window. Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News) reports that they may have discovered one in defence.

Rafa Marin, Real Madrid’s’revolution in defence’, is the player in question. Born in 2002, he spent last season on loan at Deportivo Alaves, but he could be traded in the coming window, and the Rossoneri have taken note.

Furthermore, the report suggests that a deal could be structured similarly to those of Brahim Diaz and more recently, Alex Jimenez.
