CorSport: Milan targeting three more signings – Chelsea and Newcastle duo on radar | OneFootball

The summer transfer window only closed a few weeks ago, but the start to the 2024-25 season has highlighted some gaps in the squad that the AC Milan management want to fix.

This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports that these first two months of the season have given Paulo Fonseca and the club some pretty clear indications in view of the January transfer window regarding areas to address.

In fact, during the current international break the management are already trying to begin the first negotiations, with two midfielders and a full-back the main positions on which they will work, given Ismael Bennacer’s injury and the lack of a deputy to both Youssouf Fofana and Theo Hernandez.

To strengthen the midfield, the Rossoneri are apparently thinking of two targets that have been mentioned before: Johnny Cardoso of Real Betis and Carney Chukwuemeka of Chelsea, both of whom were linked in the summer.

For the position of full-back, Kieran Trippier is a name that Geoffrey Moncada and his team are evaluating with interest, given his versatility. During his time with Spurs and with Newcastle United, the England international has played both left-back and right-back.

Davide Calabria’s contract is expiring while Alessandro Florenzi is older in age and seemingly cannot stay injury free, while an established deputy to Theo has been missing for a while now, so Trippier – who is 34 himself – could fill two gaps.
