MILAN – Defense today is not a department where Milan have urgent needs intervention. Sportiello was signed as deputy Maignan, the rest is well covered and sorted. However, there are two question marks: one linked to Gabbia, who has many requests to play on loan, the other to Ballo-Touré, who is in the crosshairs of various clubs including Fulham and Hoffenheim. If Gabbia left, there wouldn’t really be a hole to fill four core players available: Tomori, Thiaw, Kalulu and Kjaer.
Among other things in the coming months Milan could consider extending the Danish defender’s contract by 12 months, currently expiring in 2024. Indeed, after Ibra’s departure, Kjaer is considered a reference figure in the dressing room. However, a lot will depend, more than on performance, on the physical fitness of a player who turns 35 in 2024. As for full-backs, Ballo-Touré’s departure would create a gap in the role of assistant Theo Hernandez.
