In addition to the attack, Milan are also expected to reinforce the defence this summer as Simon Kjaer is expected to leave the club. A youngster has ended up on their radar and due to the high risk of an action, the Rossoneri could trigger the release clause.
Kjaer’s contract will expire in the summer and Milan have no intention of renewing the deal. As such, also considering the injury struggles of Pierre Kalulu, the Rossoneri will need to reinforce the defence this summer. In addition to a ‘ready’ player, they could also sign one for the future.
According to Tuttosport, as cited by Radio Rossonera, the player for the future could be Boca Juniors’ Aaron Anselmino. The 18-year-old has a release clause of €20m and has attracted the interest of Everton as well as Man Utd. With this in mind, Milan could move faster than planned.
Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio are evaluating the situation but could decide to trigger the release clause at the start of the summer, thus avoiding any auction for the player. Everything will depend on the budget, though, so there are still a few loose ends.
It has previously been reported that the scout who recommended Enzo Fernandez to Milan is the one who has vouched for Anselmino as well. That in itself says a lot.
