Milan emergency after Brown snub: five full-backs on the radar Archie Brown has joined Fenerbahce instead of Milan, so the Rossoneri must sign two new starting full-backs before the start of the season.

Brown was regarded as the primary target to replace Theo, but the Englishman moved to Fenerbahce instead.

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.

🎥 Brown lands in Istanbul, Fenerbahce trolls Milan with a viral video
Fenerbahce doesn't just snatch Archie Brown from Milan, but does so with irony. On social media, to make the deal official, the club posted a video where the former Gent full-back is seen on a private jet, while a voice in Italian - with the chorus of the South Curve in the background - says that the young English talent was supposed to go to Milan. At that point, Brown asks to change the radio station: then the announcement "Archie Brown is in Istanbul" starts, accompanied by images of the player in the yellow-blue jersey. And in the video, symbolically, it switches from pizza to kebab. A perfectly executed social media tease. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

(Photo by) There had been much speculation about his potential future with the Rossoneri on Friday, to the extent that there were inaccurate rumours that he had begun to make the journey over to Italy for a medical. Milan had looked to intercept the deal between Gent and Fenerbahce, however, it required a stronger intervention from the Rossoneri, which ultimately was not the case. Fenerbahce had already taken the lead in the race to sign Brown a few days earlier, and Milan's attempts to overcome the Mourinho pull were unsuccessful.

Daniele Longo of maintains the player is currently at the airport and waiting as long as he possibly can before getting on that flight, which has indeed been booked for him. If Milan can match the fee of €8m that Fenerbahce agreed with KAA Gent, then the club will allow Brown to choose his destination. In a straight decision between the two clubs, the Serie A giants would win out.
