GdS: Milan want to give Allegri a full-back before preseason tour – the two main options

The AC Milan management have apparently told Massimiliano Allegri he will get at least one full-back before leaving on the preseason tour.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning that while Milan’s transfer window isn’t taking off in terms of there being a flurry of business, Igli Tare is busy on multiple different negotiating tables.

Tare and the CEO Giorgio Furlani want to give Allegri at least one full-back before he leaves for the tour of Asia and Australia, where Arsenal, Liverpool and Perth Glory await as the first big tests of the summer.

Marc Pubill, a full-back for Almeria and an Olympic champion with Spain, is circled in red as an option for the right flank because Allegri likes him. Also on that flank, however, is Strasbourg’s Guéla Doué, who is forcing the club’s hand to try and join Milan. A new offer could be sent for him by the Rossoneri soon.

The fact remains that the club need to sign two new full-backs. With Theo Hernandez on the way out and with no real options in the right-back role either, two starters are needed to occupy the flanks of the defence, sooner rather than later preferably.
