It seems there could be another defensive signing for AC Milan this summer, with the club considering a central defensive addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There have been several suggestions about different players this summer. However, when it comes to wingers and central defenders, there has always been an asterisk. That, of course, has been one must leave for another to arrive.<\/p>\n

As time passes, it seems more unlikely<\/a> that a move will be made, but Calciomercato.com<\/a> report that this may not actually be the case.<\/p>\n

A new Chiellini<\/p>\n

This afternoon, it is suggested that the team lacks a \u2018true marker\u2019, which is one of Allegri\u2019s latest requests. A \u2018Chiellini-like\u2019 player who can be a big figure for the squad going forward. To fill this role, the club want Giovanni Leoni.<\/p>\n

The Italian has been specifically requested by the new manager, and wants to add him to the team for now and the future. However, there is also a route to Pietro Comuzzo, the Fiorentina defender. Both offer similar characteristics, young and Italian, with quality.<\/p>\n

Another defender \u2018wouldn\u2019t hurt\u2019. Regardless of this, though, a hit may have to be taken. Leoni\u2019s price is now in the region of \u20ac40 million, which is very difficult<\/a> for the Rossoneri to match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It seems there could be another defensive signing for AC Milan this summer, with the club considering a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-45675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
