Bild: Bayern Munich’s transfer shortlist includes ‘unnamed Milan defender’

Bayern Munich are aiming to reinforce their defensive between now and the summer, with around six names on their wish list. An AC Milan defender is one of them, per a report, but the name has not been revealed yet. 

Milan have been struggling with many injuries this season and in recent weeks, there has been a noticeable crisis in the defensive department. The likes of Pierre Kalulu, Marco Pellegrino and Malick Thiaw are all on the sidelines, with Fikayo Tomori being the only constant.

According to the German outlet, as cited by @iMiaSanMia on X, Bayern Munich have set their sights on an ‘unnamed Milan defender’. In addition to five other targets, this player is on their defensive shortlist for January and the summer.

Most of the targets, as the report states, will be difficult to sign in January and the German side could thus prepare a more serious attempt in the summer. With the player’s name yet to be revealed, it’s difficult to say what this means for Milan.

Malick Thiaw is a good shout, having impressed with the German national team, but Theo Hernandez has also been linked with Bayern Munich in the past. We will simply have to wait and see which player it is.
