European Transfer Rumors: Milan and Juventus Pursue Lille Defender

As the summer transfer window approaches, European clubs are already making moves to strengthen their squads. Here are the latest updates and rumors from the world of football transfers:

Milan and Juventus Eyeing Tiago Santos:
AC Milan and Juventus are both keen on signing Lille’s talented right-back Tiago Santos, according to reports from Calciomercato. Despite uncertainties surrounding Stefano Pioli’s future with AC Milan, the club is actively planning for the upcoming transfer window. Alongside their interest in Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee, Milan is closely monitoring Lille striker Jonathan David, who is also on Napoli’s radar. Milan’s positive relationship with Lille, having previously acquired players like Rafael Leão, Mike Maignan, and Tiago Djaló, could facilitate negotiations for Santos. However, there hasn’t been an official offer from Milan yet. Juventus, on the other hand, sees Santos as a potential replacement for USMNT winger Timothy Weah and might pursue the 21-year-old if they fail to secure Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.
