Premier League
AC Milan is intensifying its interest in Swedish defender Victor Lindelof, who currently plays for Manchester United, but does not seem to be in the long-term plans of the new coach, Ruben Amorim.
Given Lindelof's contractual situation, which expires at the end of the season, the Italians are looking to take advantage of this opportunity to secure a strategic signing in January, avoiding a free transfer in the summer. The Rossoneri hope this "bargain" will strengthen their defense, providing the experience and solidity they value in the 30-year-old player.
On the other hand, Manchester United prefers to part ways with the center-back in the winter market to receive financial compensation. With the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt and the expectation that Leny Yoro will take a place in the defense once he regains form, Lindelof's role has been diminished. This situation has led the club to consider selling options for several players, with names like Harry Maguire, Casemiro, and Antony also on the list of potential departures.
Kiwior, Plan B
In addition to Lindelof, Milan is also eyeing Jakub Kiwior, a defender from Arsenal, as an alternative to strengthen their defensive squad. However, Arsenal would only allow Kiwior's departure through a permanent agreement, with a value of £20 million, ruling out any loan deals. This situation puts Milan in a dilemma to decide whether they focus their efforts on Lindelof or seek a more solid investment with Kiwior, who is also courted by clubs like Napoli, Juventus, and Villarreal.
In response to the situation, Manchester United is evaluating other reinforcements for their defensive line, with Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton being one of the candidates on sporting director Dan Ashworth's radar, in an attempt to consolidate an effective defensive system under Amorim's guidance.
