AC Milan has reportedly shifted their interest away from two free transfers from the Premier League aimed at strengthening their defense. During the winter transfer window, Milan was connected with various center-back options, but ultimately, the return of Matteo Gabbia from loan at Villarreal was their sole addition, postponing any new signings until the summer.
According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com on Twitter, Adarabioyo and Kelly are no longer targets for Milan for the upcoming season, although the rationale behind this change in direction is not specified. Instead, the management is now set to focus on acquiring Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino once the transfer window reopens.
Milan’s interest in Buongiorno was evident in January, but Urbano Cairo’s decision closed that avenue, which could potentially reopen in the near future.
Ahead of Milan’s Europa League match against Slavia Praha, Czech defender David Zima actually encouraged Buongiorno to join Milan, expressing belief in his readiness to advance his career and contend for trophies at the club level.
