He\u2019ll either helm the <em>Rossoneri<\/em> or wait for another opportunity of the same caliber. He could arrive solo. Instead, the negotiation with the director has been more challenging because of his significant requests. If they pivoted, they\u2019d likely hire Ramon Planes and Mauricio Pochettino. They worked together at Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Milan have been offered Alaba, who\u2019s leaving Real Madrid as a free agent, and Christensen. The former had been proposed to Inter and Inter as well. They passed on him, at least for now, because of his wages and checkered injury history. He\u2019s a cornerstone of Rangnick\u2019s Austria.<\/p>\n<p>According to Matteo Moretto (via <em>SOSFanta<\/em>), the Barcelona center-back is technically on an expiring contract, but he has an agreement in place for a two-year renewal. However, the exec esteems him a lot. He\u2019s been in Catalunya since 2022, following a run at Chelsea, and has totaled 98 appearances. He featured just 18 times in the most recent campaign because of a serious knee problem.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Take on Milan, Alaba, and Christensen<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a little early to name names on the transfer market, given the murkiness at the highest level, but agents and intermediaries don\u2019t sleep. The chatter could be an indication of where they are headed. They need a right-footed defender more than a lefty, regardless of the scheme, and the latter\u2019s demands figure to be more manageable.<\/p>\n<table class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color: #ebf5ff;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 60px; border: 0px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 0px; text-align: center;\"><strong>Follow us on <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Google News<\/span> for more updates on Serie A and Italian football<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cultofcalcio.com\/milan-linked-to-real-madrid-and-barcelona-defenders\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milan haven\u2019t finalized their decision but are starting to get the sense that they\u2019ll be able to pair Ralf Rangnick and Oliver Glasner and have begun eyeing players with ties to\u00a0the duo, like David Alaba and Andreas Christensen.
