Kyle Walker has returned to Manchester City and Emerson Royal is on the market, while Theo Hernandez has joined Al-Hilal.
Brown was regarded as the primary target to replace Theo, but the Englishman moved to Fenerbahce instead.
Milan officially kicks off the new season on August 17 in the Coppa Italia against Bari, but Massimiliano Allegri still doesn't have the two starting right-backs.
Milan's full-back targets

As reported by Gazzetta, Strasbourg Guéla Doué is the primary target for the right flank, but the French club have demanded €25m plus add-ons, while Milan have recently raised their bid from €15m to €18m.

Monaco's Vanderson is even more expensive, so Milan are also looking to Almeria's Pubill, who costs €15m and is also wanted by Wolverhampton.
As for the left-back position, Miguel Gutiérrez of Girona is an option, but Milan are offered players in the same position every day. The latest one was Melvin Bard of OGC Nice, but the 24-year-old is not part of the Rossoneri's plans.

Liverpool set to bank €100m for star forward
Liverpool always try to get the best deal they can and Richard Hughes is a tough negotiator. Arne Slot has told us in the past about how strategic Liverpool were in their pursuit of him to become their new head coach and all of the right questions were asked to tempt the Dutchman to move.

Luis Diaz to Bayern was a better deal than we thought The Colombian's departure to Bayern Munich was polarising for some fans, given how important he was to the team last season and in general his 22 goal contributions were a reasonable return. But since he was 28 years old and nearing the end of his contract, with Liverpool unwilling to offer him a new deal, the opportunity to sell was not something the Reds could turn down, especially not for the £65m (€75m) package that the Germans offered. It's was an extraordinary deal to agree. Cody Gakpo and up and coming talent Rio Ngumoha will be able to lock-down the left-hand side of the attack this season in his absence and the club's net transfer spend fell massively as a result. Furthermore, new signing Hugo Ekitike has also proved that he can play on the left-wing occasionally, although his main role will be playing as a striker, potentially alongside Alexander Isak.
