AC Milan are planning talks with Brest regarding Lilian Brassier who is a target for the defensive department this month, according to a report.
The first reinforcement of the January transfer window arrived yesterday for Milan as Matteo Gabbia’s return from his loan spell at Villarreal was confirmed. He gave an interview with Sky in which he revealed his delight to be back at the club he considers it his ‘dream’ to become a starter for.
However, with Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori all out for some time yet, Sky (via Radio Rossonera) are reporting that Milan are looking to sign another central defender. That has become the focus over signing a striker, given Luka Jovic’s recent form.
Brassier is the target, a 24-year-old who has become an immovable member of a Brest defence which is one of the best in Ligue 1. They appear willing to let the player leave in January, but only on a permanent basis.
The demands are around €10m, and what Milan like about Brassier is that he can also play the role of left-back which could mean some rest for Theo Hernandez at times when he needs it, however Monaco and Porto are also keen.
Sky add that in recent days the management persistently tried to loan Jakub Kiwior first and then Takehiro Tomiyasu from Arsenal, but the Gunners don’t want to lose the two players on a temporary basis.
Arsenal get nothing from loaning out players unless Arteta has no use for them. Why do teams target Arsenal bench warmers is because Arsenal always sell their players too cheaply and everyone knows it, except Arsenal.
Too cheaply? They demanded 40mil for a striker they refused to even play last summer…
Because he can play also LB? That’s lame argument considering there are Bartesaghi and Jimenez at home. Another 10 millions down the drain. Add that to 4 millions spent for Pellegrino when they could get Calafiori.
It is better to stop signing Central Dffender because Simic is the best of all ,but Tomori is sold than it is normal to sign repalcement.
But it is Compulsory to the Verona Defender for Calabria and folorenzi. Are losers
I personally don’t think we need this signing. I’d rather we get a RB, instead of someone that can play LB. We don’t need another CB. If we sign another CB, it should just be on a loan. Not 10 million…
Terracciano should be our goal, because he’s talented, and we do have a quota that needs to be met for legal reasons. But not just filling a quota… the player actually is talented.
