AC Milan's priority in the January transfer window is to sign a new central defender, as reported by SempreMilan. The team is facing challenges with the long-term absence of Matteo Gabbia and Mario Gila's physical issues. Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic will have to play overtime, making a new signing necessary. Milan have several names on their list.
SempreMilan reports that Milan have been approached about Daniele Ghilardi of Roma, and Jorge Mendes is promoting Tiago Gabriel of Lecce on a loan deal. Ruben Amorim is not entirely convinced about Gabriel, but the matter will be discussed further. Ghilardi's limited playing time could lead to an exit being considered.
According to SempreMilan, Goncalo Inacio and Kim Min-Jae remain on Milan's shopping list, with Inacio being the priority. Sporting CP is waiting for a move for Inacio, while Kim's high salary and Bayern Munich's reluctance to sell mid-season complicate his potential transfer. Milan are also interested in Leny Yoro for next season, with Jorge Mendes potentially helping with a €40-50m deal.

Source context
AC Milan’s priority once the transfer window reopens will be to give Ruben Amorim a new central defender, with several names on the list. The long-term absence for Matteo Gabbia has been followed by the news that Mario Gila also has a physical problem and will miss at least the Udinese game. So, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic will be asked to perform overtime, but a defender is a priority in January. According to Calciomercato.com, in recent days Milan have been approached about Daniele Ghilardi of Roma. The 23-year-old is not playing much at the moment and this could result in an exit being evaluated with his agent. Speaking of agents, Jorge Mendes is trying to convince Lecce to open up to a loan formula for Tiago Gabriel because he sees his client as a potential solution for Milan.
