Milan dreaming of Van Dijk but Inacio more likely
AC Milan are in the market for a new centre-back and have identified two main candidates. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is reportedly a dream signing, but the high cost and complexity of the deal make it unlikely. Instead, Milan are looking more closely at Sporting CP's Gonçalo Inacio, who represents a more feasible option both financially and in terms of negotiation. The report suggests Milan are weighing up their options as they seek to strengthen their back line.
Read the full story at football-italia.netMilan's defensive recruitment signals intent to reinforce a back line that has shown vulnerability. Van Dijk would be a transformative, marquee signing but is realistically out of reach given his age, contract, and Liverpool's position. Inacio, a younger and more attainable Portuguese international, fits Milan's typical recruitment profile of acquiring high-upside talent from the Portuguese league. The likely outcome is a pursuit of Inacio, which would still meaningfully upgrade Milan's defensive options.
