Longo: Calabria and Tomori could leave as Milan express trust in Thiaw | OneFootball

AC Milan have struggled defensively this summer and in addition to a new manager, therefore, the Rossoneri could also reinforce the department with a few signings. According to a report, Davide Calabria and Fikayo Tomori could also leave.

Stefano Pii’s men have conceded a whopping 42 goals this season and as highlighted by Calciomercato.com’s Daniele Longo, that’s 23 more goals than Inter have conceded. In short, a ‘revolution’ is recommended and perhaps even needed at the back.

The plan, as things stand, is to sign two centre-backs and a promising right-back. The likes of Davide Calabria and Fikayo Tomori now hang in the balance, with the captain asking for a high pay rise. The Englishman, meanwhile, could be put on the market to fund other operations.

Malick Thiaw’s agent recently had a meeting with Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio at Casa Milan, during which the club’s trust was in the German was made clear. Therefore, he could only leave in the event of a very high offer.

As for potential targets, Maxence Lacroix (Wolfsburg), Lilian Brassier (Brest) and Tiago Santos (Lille) are on Milan’s radar. These targets will be discussed with the new manager and from there, the Rossoneri will decide what to do next.
