"Milan Sports" reported that AC Milan is interested in Lille full-back Thiago Santos, but the players need to prove that they are in good health.

Milan began to pay attention to 22-year-old Thiago Santos as early as the 2023-24 season. Last year, Fonseca also recommended him to the club, but Milan believes that the time has not come.

This past season, Thiago Santos suffered a serious injury and had a cruciate ligament ruptured in his left knee and finally only played 7 times in Ligue 1.

But now the turning point has emerged. With the breakdown of Milan's relationship with Teo, Walker's return to Manchester City, Emerson is approaching to leave the team, Florentzi's contract expires and other factors, Thiago Santos, who has both speed, defensive hardness and offensive participation, has become a feasible option to strengthen the full-back position.

In the next few weeks, this concept may be gradually concretized, provided that he passes the physical examination of the Allegri coaching staff and reports in a complete recovery state.
