CorSport: Milan sense chance to land Fiorentina defender and fill major squad gap | OneFootball

AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca is reportedly hoping for a new left-back to arrive during the January window, and Fabiano Parisi might be an opportunity.

This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via FiorentinaWorld) talks about one of the gaps in the squad that the Milan management are looking to fix, namely finding a reliable deputy to Theo Hernandez.

Milan encountered the issue when Theo had to serve a two-game ban following a red card for dissent in the 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina. Filippo Terracciano was used there while he was banned, while Davide Calabria and Alex Jimenez can play there too, but all are right-footed.

This is where the chance to sign Parisi could become appealing. The little playing time that he is getting due to the presence of Biraghi and Gosens in the squad could convince Fiorentina to let him leave.

Not only that, but they could accept a loan formula and this would be ideal for Milan, who in turn would give Fonseca a deputy in a crucial position.

Parisi has been linked previously – even going back to his days at Empoli – and it is likely that he would prefer being a back-up at Milan rather than being third choice under Raffael Palladino.
