Milan is preparing to renew its defense even after Matteo Gabbia's injury. The Rossoneri club, which has already shown interest in Goncalo Inacio, is evaluating another option: Raphael Le Guen, a young defender from Brest. According to manager Matteo Moretto, the 20-year-old could represent a cheaper choice than the player owned by Sporting CP, with a contract that lasts until 2029.
Gabbia, who suffered an injury to the left thigh flexor muscle with partial tendon involvement, is out of the field for an estimated period of four to five months. The defender expressed his frustration on social media, saying he was disappointed not to be able to contribute to the team at a crucial moment in the season and vowing to return as best as possible. He thanked his family, staff and fans for their support, concluding with an appeal of strength to Milan.
The January transfer window therefore promises to be interesting for the Rossoneri defence. While Inacio remains a key figure to monitor, Le Guen could offer a more economically accessible solution while maintaining a high level of technical expertise. Milan will have to carefully evaluate the available options, considering the team's immediate needs and long-term prospects.
With Gabbia out and the season in full swing, Milan try to maintain their defensive solidity. The attention towards Le Guen indicates a pragmatic approach on the part of the club, which aims to strengthen its squad without compromising the budget. The next step will be the confirmation of any negotiations and the possible integration of a new defender into the Rossoneri squad to guarantee competitiveness in Serie A and European competitions.
