Milan’s director Geoffrey Moncada has initiated direct discussions with Aston Villa’s defender Diego Carlos in anticipation of the summer transfer window. The Rossoneri have encountered defensive challenges throughout this season, a concern likely to persist in their upcoming encounter with Juventus. Consequently, acquiring a new central defender is among several reinforcements planned for the summer.
With Malick Thiaw attracting interest, Milan has begun compiling a roster of potential candidates to fortify their defensive line. This list includes Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino, Lilian Brassier from Brest, and Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg.
According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan’s director Moncada has reached out to Diego Carlos’ agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, to explore the possibility of a summer transfer for the Aston Villa defender. The Rossoneri value the 31-year-old for his leadership qualities, experience, strong aerial prowess, and adept man-marking abilities. However, Aston Villa is reluctant to part with the defender at a low price, having invested €31 million to acquire him from Sevilla in July 2022.
