CorSport: Premier League and Ligue 1 interest exists for Milan duo – the details | OneFootball

This summer, the outgoings are just as important as the incoming players, and some information has come to light about some interest in two AC Milan defenders.

Last season, Milan struggled heavily in defence, but there is still a large amount of interest in a few players. So far, there have been at least two efforts made to the Rossoneri for Fikayo Tomori, but both attempts have been refused with Paulo Fonseca wanting to build around the English defender.

Newcastle United, who were one of the clubs interested in Tomori, have made contact with the Diavolo about Malick Thiaw, and a deal could be done for around €40 million, with a report suggesting that it seems likely.

This morning, Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News) have strengthened this, stating that the Magpies are interested in the German defender, and negotiations could advance quickly in the days to come with a price already set.

Additionally, they have suggested that there is some interest in the captain, Davide Calabria, from France. They state that Ligue 1 club Strasbourg have the Italian right-back in their sights, and whilst he is not their primary target, he is a name that has been mentioned.

Given the Emerson Royal links are heating up once again, maybe there could be something in the pipeline this summer for the captain.
