Milan meet agent of Torino captain – why he is the No.1 target

AC Milan have already met Alessandro Buongiorno’s agent with a view to signing the Torino defender this summer, a report claims. 

As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Milan Press), Buongiorno is one of the players at the top of Milan’s wishlist.

He has a maturity and style that Milan appreciates and they think he can replace Simon Kjaer and be more important than the Dane has been in recent seasons.

A move for the Torino man will not be straightforward forward given there are many teams interested in signing him. Inter, Juventus and Napoli are the competition within Serie A.

Outside of Italy, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also expressed interest. For now, Buongiorno is only focused on ending the season with Torino in a Europa Conference League position.

That would be the perfect way for Buongiorno to leave the club where he has proved to be the perfect replacement for Gleison Bremer who left for Juventus.

He may have a chance to audition in front of Milan this weekend with the Rossoneri hosting Torino at San Siro on Saturday, but he is fighting to get back from an injury and may not recover in time for that match.
