AC Milan is considering several options to reinforce its central defense during the winter transfer window, and Italian international Luiz Felipe of Rayo Vallecano is among the candidates being considered. The 27-year-old, who joined his current club in July 2025, recently returned from a persistent injury and his contract expires in June. FC Barcelona has also expressed interest in the defender. However, Luiz Felipe's unsuccessful period at OM in 2025 is a factor being examined by the Milanese management, which is also considering other options such as Kim Min-jae, Axel Disasi, and Niklas Süle. The defender has made 6 appearances in LaLiga this season and has a Transfermarkt market value of €3.00m.
