Milan target Leny Yoro and Balde

AC Milan continues its efforts to strengthen its squad in the final days of the summer transfer market, having identified players from Manchester United and Barcelona among its options to bolster the defensive line.

According to "Futebol Itália", citing "Calcio Mercato", Leny Yoro, a defender for Manchester United, and Alejandro Balde, a full-back for Barcelona, are among the names that could join AC Milan before the transfer window closes.

The Italian club is moving after Rafael Leão's departure to Galatasaray for a fee of €38 million plus additional incentives.

AC Milan still has a lot of work to do regarding signings and departures ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1, as they continue to search for reinforcements in the defensive line.

Leny Yoro is attracting interest from AC Milan, particularly as the player is well-known to coach Ruben Amorim from their time together at Manchester United. Yoro is represented by agent Jorge Mendes.

Mendes has a strong relationship with AC Milan, having been involved in three of the club's most significant signings this summer: Gonçalo Ramos, Diego Moreira, and Mario Gila.

According to "Calciomercato", Leny Yoro is valued at around €50 million, while Gonçalo Inácio remains another option for AC Milan, with a valuation between €40 and €50 million.

On the other hand, AC Milan are studying the possibility of signing Alejandro Balde to bolster their left-back position, with the value of the Barcelona player estimated between €40 million and €50 million.

Rayan Aït Nouri, a Manchester City player, has been linked with AC Milan as the Italian club continues its search for defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes.
