After missing out on Marc Pubill to Atlético Madrid, AC Milan has quickly shifted focus to securing the talents of young and promising Guéla Doué, a right-back for Strasbourg. The Italian club has made an offer of 22 million euros for the Ivorian defender, demonstrating its commitment to strengthening its defense for the upcoming Serie A season.
Following the disappointment of losing Marc Pubill to Atlético Madrid for a deal worth 20 million euros including bonuses, AC Milan has rapidly reactivated negotiations to bring in another target. Guéla Doué, the brother of PSG’s Désiré, has become a priority for the club. This 22-year-old defender impressed with his performances in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg, where he played 34 games and scored a goal last season. His explosive profile and ability to play in the right flank are admired for their game volume and physical impact.
Despite the competition, Milan is banking on this young talent to regain its authority in Serie A and Europe. The offer of 22 million euros made by Milan is a significant step in this battle to acquire Doué. However, Strasbourg demands a total of 30 million euros, including bonuses, to let go of their player. Milan therefore needs to convince Strasbourg to reach an agreement.
Strengthening the defense is crucial for Milan, especially after the departures of Kyle Walker and Davide Calabria, as well as the imminent exit of Emerson Royal. The arrival of Pervis Estupinan for the left-back position shows that the club is active in the transfer market to bolster its defense across the board.
