Milan is reportedly considering a potential summer move for Javi Lopez, the left-back from Deportivo Alaves. As indicated by transfer specialist Matteo Moretto, the 21-year-old is among the prospects identified by Rossoneri decision-makers Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani. Lopez, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday in March, remains contracted with the Spanish club until June 2025.

In the current LaLiga campaign, Lopez has featured in 17 matches, providing three assists for his teammates. His versatility allows him to operate both as a left-sided defender and in an advanced attacking role on the wing, offering potential cover for Rafael Leao when necessary.

However, any contender for the left-back position would undoubtedly encounter stiff competition from the primary choice, Theo Hernandez, who has recently been deployed as a central defender due to injury setbacks. Interestingly, there’s a parallel with Theo Hernandez’s past, as he also had a stint with Deportivo Alaves during the 2016-17 season.
