Milan plot to finish their January window by adding another defender, but they have already started tracking future targets in other roles such as Valencia’s Javi Guerra and Alaves’ Javi Lopez. The former has also been linked to Juventus.
According to DAZN’s Orazio Accomando, the Rossoneri inquired about the midfielder, whom his side doesn’t want to sell in January. They’ll be more lenient in the summer, and the Italian side has earned the pole position. He began emerging last season and blossomed in the current one, logging 4 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions. He has six caps with Spain U-21.
On top of Guerra, Milan have taken a close look at Javi Lopez, Matteo Moretto relays (via SOSFanta). He has been approved by their scouts and has been shortlisted for the summer. He plays left-back and has dished 3 helpers in 19 domestic matches with Alaves this campaign.
Our Take on Milan, Guerra, and Javi Lopez
It’s not the first midfielder they have been tied to, so there could be something in the works there. Considering the short time at the club of their other players, the most logical sacrifice would be Ismael Bennacer, who has sizeable wages and hasn’t been great after the extension, with the significant caveat of a major knee injury.
The Valencia prodigy is the type of player they love to sign. Instead, they are in decent shape on the defensive wings. The chatter about other options suggests Juan Miranda won’t come after all.
