Fulham make audacious move for AC Milan defender

 

Fulham have made an offer to AC Milan for the services of centre-back Mateo Musacchio, reports Gianluca Di Marzio.

 

The newly promoted Premier League side want to bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming campaign and are targeting an audacious move for Musacchio.

 

Milan are currently in the process of overhauling their defensive options after selling Gustavo Gomez to Boca Juniors and now Musacchio could be next to leave.

 

The Serie A giants are under financial pressure and a number of key players have been linked with summer moves away from the club.  

 

Tottenham were interested in signing Musacchio during his time at Villarreal before he joined Milan 12 months ago.

The 27-year-old, who has struggled with serious knee injuries in the past, failed to make a serious impression at Milan last season, only starting 12 league matches.

 

Musacchio unsurprisingly missed out on a spot in Argentina’s squad for the 2018 World Cup and Milan are now mulling Fulham’s offer.

 

Milan had a better win ratio in Serie A last season when Musacchio did not start (50%) compared to when he did feature from the off (41.7%).
