Paolo Maldini
, Milan technical director said that Simakan is the "kind of player" that Milan is looking to sign. He said:
"At this moment, especially for our way of playing but also the situation of football in general, I would go and get a defender who is strong in one-on-one situations.

Maybe they'll have things to learn tactically, but they'll be physically strong and good defensively one-on-one."
