Everyone knows about AC Milan’s rumored winter transfer targets. Another defender has emerged onto Milan’s radar, though this player is for next summer. Leonardo has identified Atletico Madrid and Uruguay defender Diego Godin as a possible signing. As the club start their plans for next season, one of the first targets will be the Uruguayan defender.
If Milan is to play in the Champions League next season, quality reinforcements will need to be bought. The Rossoneri are still struggling financial, but Godin’s situation fits perfectly for the club. The central defender’s contract expires during the summer, according to reports he isn’t willing to renew his deal with Atlético Madrid. Leonardo has talked with the player and is looking to make the deal official in January, with the player joining in July.
Godin will be a great signing for the club. He is a great leader, player, and an icon for his club and country. The 32-year-old is looking to take on another path in his career, a move to Italy is possible as he rejected an offer from Manchester United last summer. The two time Europa League winner is ready to leave the club he spent eight years with.
