AC Milan want to replace Kyle Walker with Guela Doué | OneFootball

According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are interested in trying to bring RC Strasbourg Alsace right-back Guela Doué (22) to the San Siro for next season. The Italian giants are in the market for a new fullback with Kyle Walker (35) and Emerson Royal (26) expected to leave the club, while there are questions over Álex Jiménez’s (20) ability to defend.

Doué only arrived at Strasbourg last summer when he left his formative club Stade Rennais in a €6.5 million transfer move. At Le Racing, Doué’s profile as a talented defender has blossomed, and he was a core part of a squad that looked to challenge for Champions League football, but narrowly missed out following a late-season collapse.

Doué’s steady progress this season has perhaps been in the shadow of his more famous younger brother, Désiré. Like Guela, Désiré left Rennes in the summer when he moved to Paris Saint-Germain. In his first season at the capital club, Doué ended the hunt for Champions League success, scoring twice as PSG won 5-0 against Inter Milan in the final.
