GdS: How Milan’s XI could look next season – from Tielemans to Thuram

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are expected to make some signings this summer and after the sacking of Paolo Maldini, Geoffrey Moncada is working on the targets he prefers. Indeed, some of these negotiations are already advanced. 

The decision to sack Maldini and Massara came as a shock to most but not Gerry Cardinale’s inner circle, who are now preparing for next season. Moncada, the chief scout, has been promoted and is currently carrying out negotiations.

According to today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (see photo below), Milan could make 4-5 signings for the starting XI. Youri Tielemans appears to be the main target for the midfield, while Marcus Thuram certainly is the main one for the attack.

A right-winger is expected, with Christian Pulisic high up on the wish list, and the negotiations for Daichi Kamada will go ahead. At the back, Evan N’Dicka could arrive on a free transfer but Roma are currently ahead in that race.

  1. Arsenal only had a verbal agreement with Reiss Nelson. If we can hijack that deal, we should go for it instead of Pulisic. Reiss won’t be a starter for Arsenal anytime soon while in Milan, it’s guaranteed.

    Pulisic’s injuries stalled his career in Chelsea, not his qualities. I doubt it will change in Milan considering Pioli managed to get even Kessie injured in Training lol

      1. LOL,. My posts on the soon-to-be-Roma player keeps getting rejected. As soon as I removed one letter from the name, the post got through. Nice censorship going on.

        1. Yup, I experienced that multiple times. Perhaps not signing N’D*cka is blessing in disguise as we don’t have to deal with this censorship.

          Nb: the post might appear later after it got approved.

  2. pulisic is very talented, He can change a team when fit, chukwueze is also talented, but pulisic have experience than him because of ucl and also premier league which is the best league in the world

  3. I’d like us to sign sarr from Watford. Shouldn’t be expensive as he plays in championship, fast, direct, works hard think he’s 25.massive upgrade on our right wing.

  4. Pulisic might not be the quality right winger we’ve been dreaming for right now (unless he rediscovered and fulfil his potential), but I believe would be the logical choice by the new management.

    With the next edition of World Cup is going to take place in USA/Canada/Mexico, getting USA NT star player is a no brainer. Especially with all the extra interest it would generate by having Messi recently moved to MLS.

    And if Pulisic would turn out to be a great player who compliment Leao on the left, it would be a massive coup. Otherwise, at the very least, he would sell shirt and expand the brand name in the North America.

  5. Nice on PAPER but this ASSUMES we will be able to sign 4 highly coveted FREE AGENTS? Lol. Like every other club isn’t thinking the same thing??? Ok. Hope so but easier said than done. N’Dicka’s medical is booked w Roma for next week, and PSG want Thurman and can trump any offer we make. Chelsea isn’t just going to give us Pulsic for peanuts – likely cost our entire 35M budget AND he makes approx 10M/season so he would have to take a huge pay cut. Kamada is possible and we should wrap that up asap but stalling on a deal isn’t helping and I’m sure he will look around for other options. Tielemens is highly coveted in the EPL so we would have to convince him to take less $ to sign with us that what an EPL side can offer him. Scamacca I assume would be a loan because we have no money to pay for him out right unless we can sell Tomori, Rebic amd Origi for 50M or more….all WISHFUL thinking. Would be nice to happen but Im not holding my breath and IMO at best we get ONE of those players mentioned in this article. PR SPIN by Redbird

    1. “Chelsea isn’t just going to give us Pulsic for peanuts – likely cost our entire 35M budget AND he makes approx 10M/season so he would have to take a huge pay cut. ”

      Not really. Pulisic earns 5M net and after the season he played he shouldn’t be expecting ANYONE to match his current salary. 3,5 (or 4M€ tops) might suffice. But there’s still the money needed to pay to Chelsea and it wouldn’t be cheap.

      1. 7.8M GBP gross is approx 9.7M USD gross. To get to 4M NET you have to offer close to 8M gross…Your dreaming if you don’t think any other EPL team won’t offer him a similar salary. He’s 24 not 34. AND yes the transfer fee. Chelsea paid 60M for him in 2019. I doubt they sell for less than 35M. Fantasy’s of getting him for 20M are just that – Fantasy. If we get him it’s because we are selling a big player/starter to do so and that means not much $$ left to supposedly buy all these other players. To me it’s smoke and mirrors. BUT I hope I am dead wrong and we get all of them. Just don’t see it being realistic with our Ownership.

      2. BB you do know there’s this thing called English clubs right? English clubs can easily pay that sort of wages and wouldn’t mind taking a punt on him.

  7. Teilemans just signed with ASTON VILLA…….ahhhhh!

    Like that was a surprise LMAO!

    Wake up sheep and stop dreaming and stop drinking the Redbird Kool Aid.

    LIKE I SAID if we sign Kamada then that is ALL we should expect. Don’t get your hopes up high. Ownership with its WAGE CAP will have difficulty attracting established players whether they are free transfers or not and without our trump card (Maldini) it will be even harder. FACTS

  8. N’D*cka signed with Roma; Thurman with PSG. Ahhhhh…..

    Who else is left on that magical list? Pulsic amd Scamacca amd Kamada? Let’s go Georgio – only one free player (Kamada) left. Better get him. I have Walter Birsa’s number I can call him for you offer him $5/per goal? Would that fit under our wage cap??

  9. Don’t forget to comply Champions League regulation of minimal 4 home-grown player from ACM.
    Calabria & Pobega are must stay. So i hope Gabbia will still stay to be the CB cover, and who is the another 1 ? Maldini (will he ready), Jungdal (the most logical to have home-grown 3rd GK).
