Milan target Inacio in January; Tresoldi eyed for attack

Milan targets Sporting's Inacio for January defence reinforcement after Amorim admits the squad cannot compete on two fronts; also eyeing Bruges forward Tresoldi.

Following Milan's Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros, manager Ruben Amorim has acknowledged the squad lacks the depth to compete simultaneously in Serie A and European competition. The Portuguese coach stated bluntly: "We are not ready to compete on two fronts." The recurring injuries to Gabbia and Tomori have intensified the defensive crisis, making a January signing essential.

Milan has identified Gonçalo Inacio, Sporting Lisbon's centre-back and a long-time target of Amorim, as a primary defensive option, though the Portuguese club's asking price is substantial and they may resist a mid-season sale. Alternative targets include 21-year-old Massiré Sylla of Union St. Gilloise, who recently renewed his contract after learning of Milan's interest.

The club also plans to strengthen attack and the right wing. Nicolò Tresoldi of Bruges, a lifelong Milan fan who has impressed in both Belgian league and Champions League play, is a target for a potential forward addition. Bruges value him at over €50 million and are reluctant to sell mid-season, though Tresoldi would reportedly push hard to join Milan.
