Overview
- Milan have effectively ruled out a Thiago Silva reunion and shifted focus to younger centre-back options viewed as more sustainable.
- Niklas Süle and Axel Disasi are being monitored as alternatives, while Joe Gomez has been offered by his camp though Liverpool are reluctant to sell.
- Talks with West Ham for Niclas Fullkrug are advanced, with multiple reports describing him as practically a Milan player on a loan deal with an option to buy.
- Fullkrug’s profile is expected to give Milan a stronger central reference in attack, enabling Christian Pulisic to operate more as a selective second striker and finisher.
- Further squad moves are being prepared, with young defender David Odogu potentially leaving on loan if a new centre-back arrives.
