As we approach the final few days of the mercato, signing a central defender remains the big objective for AC Milan. There have been contrasting reports for a while now about the defender.

However, alternative suggestions were made this afternoon, stating that no move could be made. In other words, it seems like it could go right to the wire for a deal to happen. The defender situation Now Fabrizio Romano has provided an update about the central defender situation, and again, one name is specifically mentioned – as it has been all summer – as MilanNews relays. “The news we’re receiving suggests that AC Milan is completely focused on other objectives. Amorim might even be interested in an additional central defender, but the owners and those managing the transfer window at the moment, primarily Gerry Cardinale, are all focusing on other options. “Several names have been floated in the last few hours: for one, Nottingham Forest’s Morato. There’s also been a lot of talk about Goncalo Inacio, a profile that Amorim also likes, but AC Milan currently has other ideas and objectives.” We shall have to see if Gerry Cardinale’s view changes before Tuesday. Even if it’s not Inacio, another signing would be appreciated by many, you feel.
