AC Milan must now begin consulting their list of alternative targets as Sven Botman is Newcastle-bound, with Arsenal’s William Saliba reportedly an option.

Having not landed Botman, Milan are looking for alternatives to shore up the defence and replace Alessio Romagnoli numerically, given that he is out of contract at the end of the month and is therefore destined to depart on a free transfer.

Il Giornale (via MilanNews) report that Milan are happy to put their faith in Fikayo Tomori and Simon Kjaer after the excellent way that they ended last season, while also waiting for the return of Simon Kjaer.

The management are therefore looking for a younger centre-back who has the potential to grow, and William Saliba is the name launched specifically by the paper. The 21-year-old Frenchman is owned by Arsenal but played on loan at Marseille last season, playing 36 times for them in the league, and there are rumours of the Ligue 1 club submitting a bid worth €25-30m (via RMC).
