Italian media: Milan’s defense under pressure, club to push for Inacio in January window

After the summer transfer window closed, one of AC Milan’s major questions this season is the quality and depth of their defense. The Rossoneri signed Mario Gila early in the summer window, but were unable to bring in another player afterward, which could have further improved Milan’s defensive quality. The defensive line now appears short on personnel and still has clear room for improvement, as the team exposed weaknesses when Mario Gila was unavailable.

La Gazzetta dello Sport conducted an overall analysis of AC Milan’s defense. The article first mentioned Mario Gila, who has been the team’s best-performing signing in the first three rounds, but he has not completely solved the Rossoneri’s defensive problems, and the team still has room to strengthen further in the coming months.

The newspaper wrote: “The two goals conceded without Mario Gila, Alessandro Amorim has limited options: Gabbia and Tomori are behind in form, while Diavara still needs to be observed. A January push for Inacio.”

Goncalo Inacio had already been a target of attention in the summer, but the deal could not be completed before the final moments.
