Merih Demiral, currently playing for Al-Ahli, has expressed a desire to leave Saudi Arabia to return to Europe, with an eye on the 2026 World Cup. Milan is in need of a central defender who is fast and physically strong, making it a logical destination for Demiral. This potential transfer could be a significant move for Milan's summer market.

Merih Demiral was very close to joining Milan. However, after discussions with his current club, Al-Ahli, they decided not to move forward with the transfer.
