Calabria has enjoyed a fine Serie A season for Milan, reportedly catching the eye of Premier League duo Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are interested in AC Milan defender Davide Calabria, according to Calciomercato.
Both Premier League clubs are a little short of quality at right-back, especially a United side who saw 33-year-old Ashley Young torn to shreds by Lionel Messi and co in Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat to Barcelona.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are willing to listen to offers for both Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier according to the Standard with Mauricio Pochettino scouring for an upgrade in the position.
And Calabria certainly fits the bill. A 22-year-old Italian international who has been at Milan since all the way back in 2006, the Brescia-born defender is one of the first names on the Rossoneri teammate these days with 26 appearances under his belt in the current Serie A season.
An intelligent ball-playing defender who is famed for his expert positional sense and brilliant reading of the game, it is no surprise that Calabria idolises the Milan legend Paolo Maldini, as quoted in an interview with UEFA.
But Milan have no intention of letting their academy graduate go. According to Calciomercato, he is deemed ‘unsellable’ by coach Gennaro Gattuso so both United and Spurs could be wasting their time.
