AC Milan Targets Ismaëlo Ganiou as Winter Transfer Window Approaches
AC Milan has reportedly made RC Lens defender Ismaëlo Ganiou (21) a key target for the upcoming winter transfer window, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Rossoneri are attempting to make significant moves, with ambitions to attract Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk (35) next summer. However, they are also prioritizing the acquisition of a defensive player as early as January.
Despite Ganiou recently extending his contract with Lens until 2030, he is viewed as a favorable option by Milan. Reports suggest that inquiries regarding the possibility of signing him have already been initiated. Milan is also considering other players, including Sporting CP’s Gonçalo Inácio (25) and Union Saint-Gilloise’s Massiré Sylla (21), both of whom have piqued the interest of club officials.
Ganiou established himself as a breakout player during the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season and began the current campaign strongly before being sidelined by an injury. After undergoing meniscus surgery, he is expected to make his return to the pitch in the coming weeks.
