Since the arrival of Pervis Estupinan, AC Milan have not been linked with signing another left-back. However, they have reportedly been offered one.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write how in theory, in a four-man defence, Massimiliano Allegri has two players available for each position available which should be sufficient depth for a season without European football.
There is Alexis Saelemaekers (or Alex Jimenez) plus the incoming Zachary Athekame on the right, plus Estupinan and Davide Bartesaghi at left-back. The centre-backs of course are Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori and (soon) Koni De Winter.
However, in this pre-season, Allegri – playing without a true centre-forward and with Rafael Leao in that role – often used a three-man defence when not in possession. Even though Milan have just domestic games to worry about, a low-cost centre-back cannot be ruled out.
Meanwhile, reports from Brazil suggest that left-back Lucas Piton – who is currently playing for Vasco da Gama – has been offered. to the Rossoneri. He also holds an Italian passport.
