Reports: Low chance of Caprile and Atubolu – Milan may be pushed to other solutions

AC Milan are looking at two goalkeepers, but it seems neither are particularly likely at this moment in time…

With Mike Maignan’s contract discussions not progressing, Milan are considering a few names for their next goalkeeper. However, it seems that bringing in the ‘right’ one could be a challenge based on initial reports.

Milan’s ideas

Yesterday, Matteo Moretto reported that the Rossoneri want a young goalkeeper who is ready for first-team action. Furthermore, he named two ideas that were being discussed: Elia Caprile and Noah Atubolu.

With both, though, there were issues. With Caprile, the club do not see him as a No.1 just yet, whilst the Diavolo are behind in the race for Atubolu. Making it difficult to see a deal happening, and Calciomercato.com has spoken on this update.

Given the freeze between Milan and Maignan is not yet thawing, the club are hoping to find a promising and reliable starter to take his place next summer, if he does not renew. Caprile, for the reasons listed, is an unlikely candidate for now, but he will continue to be monitored.

Whilst the German is a possible opportunity, ground has to be made in the race for him. So, neither of these primary choices may be acquired next summer at this rate, which could open up a door to Zion Suzuki, or even a stronger push for Maignan’s renewal, perhaps.

We will have to see, but time is running out for clarity to be found.
