Another target for AC Milan! Serie A side pursue €15m right-back but Barcelona hatch plan to keep him in La Liga

<p>According to <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/milan-pubill-news-calciomercato/" target="_blank">Gianluca Di Marzio,</a> Milan have identified Pubill as a key target to reinforce their right flank following the departure of Kyle Walker, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/kyle-walker-now-ac-milan-player-12-month-loan-transfer-from-man-city-agreed-marcus-rashford-man-utd-exit-route-blocked/blt3d9373c6dd735d0e" target="_blank">who was signed on loan from Manchester City</a>. The Almeria defender is valued at €15 million (£13m/$17m), and talks could accelerate soon. Barcelona are also in the mix and may buy the player with plans to loan him to Real Betis.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Rossoneri's summer rebuild continues under Max Allegri, with midfield signings like <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ac-milan-midfield-signing-samuele-ricci-medical-scheduled-eur25m-agreement-torino/blta9bc4b3d3f85d8ac" target="_blank">Samuele Ricci</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luka-modric-confirmed-serie-a-ac-milan-sporting-director-excited-real-madrid-legend-impact-christian-pulisic/blt2925bc582a0c8d3c" target="_blank">Luka Modric</a> already secured. The focus now shifts to the backline, and Pubill’s performances for Spain's U21s and Olympic squad have made him a standout candidate. Milan are also keeping tabs on Desire Doue's brother Guela Doue as a potential alternative.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pubill was part of the Spain squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2025 European U21 Championship, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-under-21s-player-ratings-spain-harvey-elliott-james-mcatee-semi-finals-euros-charlie-cresswell-spain/blt0b3a2de5b2c784dd" target="_blank">before losing to eventual winners England.</a> He played a key role in their Olympic Games triumph last year.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Serie A giants must decide whether to match Almeria’s €15m (£13m/$17m) valuation to secure Pubill before Barcelona formalise their approach. With other priorities like striker and midfield reinforcements still in play, timing could be key in sealing a deal.</p>
