TOP STORY: Milan, Juve want Lille’s Tiago Santos
AC Milan and Juventus are both interested in Lille right-back Tiago Santos, as has been reported by Calciomercato.
There are questions surrounding Stefano Pioli’s future with I Rossoneri, but they are still looking ahead to the summer.
In addition to looking at Bologna‘s Joshua Zirkzee, they are keeping an eye on the progression of Lille striker Jonathan David, who is also wanted by Napoli.
Milan have a positive relationship with Lille having previously signed Rafael Leão, Mike Maignan and Tiago Djaló from the Ligue 1 club and they are not halting their current interest in David.

That is because Santos is also being mentioned in contacts between the two clubs, although there hasn’t been an official offer from Milan yet.
While they are focusing their efforts on signing a central defender, defensive midfielder and at least one striker, Milan are also aware that the contracts of Alessandro Florenzi and Davide Calabria both end in June 2025 with no news on renewals.
There could be competition from Juventus, with I Bianconeri considering the 21-year-old as a possible replacement for USMNT winger Timothy Weah — who was also signed from Lille.
Even so, they are only likely to move for Santos if they are unable to bring in Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.
