“Clearly want to monitor closely” – Moretto offers another name for Milan’s defender shortlist

By: Ben Dixon AC Milan need a central defender in January. Before Matteo Gabbia’s injury, it was essential; now it could be decisive for their hopes this season.

Failing to sign a defender in the January mercato would be a failure from Milan. They made a last-ditch effort in the summer to sign Goncalo Inacio, but Sporting didn’t have the time to sign a replacement, so the deal fell apart.

However, this shouldn’t be an issue in a few months. There has been knowledge – internally and externally – that another defender was a must heading into the winter and the unfortunate injury to Gabbia has only heightened the need for at least one addition.
