Yahoo Sports Reports: Milan directors make Germany trip – Leverkusen and Dortmund duo targets
The AC Milan directors have embarked on a trip to Germany, and reports have emerged regarding the players they might be speaking about.
We have had confirmation through our sources that Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani flew to Germany, specifically Düsseldorf, on Wednesday. While the official line is that it wasn’t mercato-related, it would be naive to presume that deals aren’t being spoken about.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport speaks about Milan having an interest in Kyle Walker and how either one of Fikayo Tomori or Strahinja Pavlovic could leave the club as a result. If Walker were not to arrive, though, it seems an alternative is being worked on.
Walker is a profile that Conceiçao would appreciate, and he will obviously have to have his say. The Portuguese coach will be consulted again today, when a meeting between the directors and the coach is expected regarding the transfer window.
If Conceiçao also confirmed the need to sign a central defender then Jonathan Tah could be looked into, whose contract expires in June. It is inevitable that he will have demands considering the interest, including from Italy, while the Rossoneri have been linked before.

Meanwhile, TMW report that despite Noah Okafor’s failure to leave, Milan could soon sign their first forward. Contacts have been re-established over Giovanni Reyna, Borussia Dortmund’s attacking wild card who is looking for a new challenge to leave his many physical problems behind him.
Today (Thursday 16 January) could be a very important day to understand the feasibility of the operation, and as mentioned his versatility could be very useful to Sergio Conceicao. Direct contacts are expected in the next few hours.
