AC Milan’s scouts have been at work identifying players who could fill gaps in the squad as early as January, and two full-backs have ended up on their list.
Clarence Seedorf was not a big admirers of AC Milan’s performance against Borussia Dortmund last night, describing it as a bit ‘random’.
Both sides had big chances in both halves to win the game at the Signal Iduna Park, with Olivier Giroud perhaps having Milan’s best opportunity in the first half and Samuel Chukwueze having two good opportunities of his own when the game stretched out a bit.
Seedorf gave his thoughts on the game as a pundit for Prime Video and he began with a response to Rafael Leao’s assessment of the draw, with his comments relayed by PianetaMilan.
“I liked Leao’s analysis. In the opportunities they had, Milan had to take advantage, clearly one always tries,” he began.
“But I think that Milan’s match wasn’t as lucid, it wasn’t as courageous as it should have been because, when they broke up in the last few minutes, it was also seen that you split the opposing team, you bring them out more. Now it’s up to them to get a result in Paris, for sure,” he said.
“There is also a bit of regret, because Milan – with how much they pushed – opened up and believed in it a little more, they were superior. Maybe it’s the team that is actually superior, but they have to believe in it from the beginning.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have sent observers to the Bundesliga over the past few weeks and they have returned two names that are circled in red and who will be carefully evaluated in the next few months.
The first is Kiliann Sildillia, a French right-back born in 2002 currently playing for SC Freiburg. The second is Joe Scally, also a right-back, also born in 2002 playing for Borussia Mönchenglabdach.
The latter is a team-mate of Yunus Musah and Christian Pulisic at international level so there would already be some chemistry there, though nothing is mentioned about price tag.
Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio are already working on the strategy for the coming windows. A concrete attempt is expected for Juan Miranda of Real Betis for the left-back role, and Jonathan David of Lille is top of the striker list for next summer
