Former Lazio & Napoli defenders emerge as surprise Milan targets for January

Milan’s January planning continues to prioritise defensive reinforcements, with the club searching for a centre-back capable of providing immediate cover for Massimiliano Allegri’s first-choice trio.

Recent matches have underlined the issue. With Matteo Gabbia sidelined and Koni De Winter stepping in, Milan were left with limited senior options from the bench, forcing the club to rely on youth in less demanding situations. In more competitive fixtures, that lack of ready-made depth is seen as a clear risk.
