AC Milan prepare new offer for Strasbourg defender Guela Doue | OneFootball

AC Milan are planning to submit a new offer for Strasbourg defender Guela Doue (h/t Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio).

The Rossoneri have identified Doue as their top right-back target, but Strasbourg rejected a €15 million bid from them.

Strengthening the right-back position is one of Milan’s priorities in the transfer window following the departures of Alessandro Florenzi and Kyle Walker.

Doue had an eye-catching season with Strasbourg, establishing himself as one of the best full-backs in Ligue 1.

The Ivory Coast international featured in 34 games and helped the French club secure a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers.

Doue is a well-rounded full-back, averaging 5.73 progressive passes and 5.03 passes into the final third per game.

He is defensively solid, making 5.37 recoveries and winning 1.13 interceptions, 1.49 tackles and 61 percent of his aerial duels.

Doue possesses all the qualities to become a massive success at Milan and develop into one of the best players in his position.

The Italian giants are also monitoring Gent right-back Archie Brown as a potential summer target.

With Theo Hernandez moving to Al-Hilal, Milan are exploring the transfer market for a new top-class left-back.

They have initiated contact with Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez, who is expected to cost around €25m.

Having signed Samuele Ricci from Torino, Milan are close to welcoming Luka Modric as their next summer signing.

They are also working on a deal to sign Club Brugge midfielder Ardon Jashari, with an offer exceeding €30m on the table.
