Ac Milan may look at making a move for Alex McCarthy, Southampton’s unwanted goalkeeper, according to Football Insider. The seasoned Englishman may be looking forward to making a comeback to the top division after losing his spot to his younger colleague Gavin Bazunu at St. Mary’s.
Milan is under immense pressure following a recent ruling that exposed their financial misdeeds. By that, we mean they went over the allowed loss caps and violated the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.
Milan was consequently immediately deducted 10 points, dropping them back into the relegation zone. Based on the caliber of the clubs surrounding them at the bottom of the table, the Toffees are certain that they would guarantee safety at the conclusion of the season.
Sean Dyche wants assistance throughout the window for transfers. But in light of the financial crunch, he needs to be aware of his assets before January. One of their most valuable assets, Amadou Onana, is reportedly up for sale.
Milan can make a few quality additions to support Dyche’s cause for the rest of the season if they can raise some money. The manager is apparently considering a backup goalkeeper to Jordan Pickford among those who are needed.
As a result, the 33-year-old is no longer starting games for the Saints; instead, veteran Englishman Alex McCarthy has entered the picture for Southampton. Gavin Bazunu, a younger colleague and Republic of Ireland international, is still without a doubt the top player at St. Mary’s.
McCarthy will enter the last 18 months of his contract in January because he is not wanted at Southampton. In the summer, he did draw some interest from teams such as Manchester United and was considered as Andre Onana’s backup.
In a similar vein, he was also entertained by Crystal Palace as a potential Vicente Guaita substitute. All things considered, everyone who desired him in the summer saw him only as a fallback option for their first-choice stopper. In January, Milan finds themselves in a same situation as the seasoned Englishman. Thus, McCarthy will only support Pickford if he joins Everton in January.
The opportunity to participate in the FA Cup and a possible return to the top division are the only benefits of this relocation. When it comes to the Toffees, Dyche would consider McCarthy’s expertise to be very important, particularly if Pickford is down for the season and Joao Virginia isn’t as good as the Southampton player.
