Milan, after Fullkrug focus shifts to defence: full steam ahead for Disasi! | OneFootball

There are just a few days left until the start of the new year, which will also mark the beginning of the winter transfer window, ending on February 1st at 8 PM. Many teams will be looking to strengthen their squads, as the first months of the season have revealed issues that each club will need to address precisely during this period.

Milan, after Fullkrug the focus shifts to defense: full steam ahead for Disasi!

One of the top Italian clubs most in need of the transfer market at this point in the season appears to be Milan under Massimiliano Allegri, who are searching for a true number nine—missing since the start of the season—and a central defender, especially after Mattia Gabbia’s knee injury. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have finalized the signing of Fullkrug, who will arrive in Italy on a loan deal with an option to buy for 15 million euros, to be paid to West Ham if exercised.

As for the defender, the first name on the list seems to be Alex Disasi, a French player who has yet to make an official appearance this season. After several successful years at Monaco, he was signed by Chelsea but didn’t find much luck in London, nor last season at Aston Villa, where he played only seven league matches. Last summer, Milan showed interest in the Frenchman, but he wanted to return to play in the principality, which didn’t materialize: the Rossoneri instead went for De Winter, whom Allegri already knew from coaching him at Juventus, and no further attempt was made for Disasi.

Now, however, the situation seems to have changed, as Disasi is looking for a new club and wants to get back to playing regularly after several years of limited appearances and underwhelming performances, which have highlighted his lack of confidence with the ball.
