"With only four central defensive options, Massimiliano Allegri needs a little bit more if he is to continue playing a back four system. Even with a back four system, you'd argue that four players is not really enough. So, in a five, it certainly isn't."
"One name of potential interest would be David Alaba, who will leave Real Madrid upon the expiration of his contract this summer, as Calciomercato.com relays from Fabrizio Romano. The journalist continued, stating that the Austrian could be on his way to Italy."
"In Spain, the defender receives a salary of €19 million per season, which isn't at all feasible in Italy. So, he must be willing to lower his demands. Considering he has appreciators in America and Saudi Arabia, though, he may not be forced to do so."
AC Milan faces a defensive shortage with only four central defensive options, insufficient for both four and five-at-the-back systems under Massimiliano Allegri. Despite avoiding major injury crises, the club has required makeshift defensive solutions, highlighting the urgent need for quality reinforcements. David Alaba, departing Real Madrid as a free agent, represents a potential acquisition. However, his €19 million annual salary in Spain exceeds Italian club budgets, requiring significant wage reduction. Juventus and Inter also pursue defensive additions, creating competition. Alaba's interest from American and Saudi Arabian clubs may reduce his willingness to accept lower Italian wages.
