Why Milan put Zinchenko deal on hold to resume chase for Brown | OneFootball

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s high salary means Milan have resumed the chase for Archie Brown, who they’ve been following for over a year.

Milan is looking for a new left-back following Theo Hernández’s move to Al-Hilal.

The Rossoneri had been in talks with Arsenal for Zinchenko, but the Ukraine international’s high salary has convinced the Serie A giants to look elsewhere for reinforcements at left-back.

English defender Brown is indeed one of the players followed by Milan in that position.

Sources close to the matter indicate that Serie A giants have pursued the Gent left-back for over a year.

Milan, however, are not the only club interested in the English defender.

Brown, in fact, has already received several offers, even from Italy, where Bologna have sounded out his availability, and. Brown was even close to joining Lazio in the past.

Milan’s talks for the 23-year-old will continue in the coming days, as Brown is a credible candidate to replace Theo on the left side of their defence.
