AC Milan have sold one star already this summer, but Tijjani Reijnders may not be the only one to leave…
Of course, it is never easy to see a club reset. However, sometimes it is better to do it radically, rather than avoiding favourites. This, understandably, comes with backlash, but it seems to be the method of Milan.

A complete startover?
Reijnders may only be the first in a long list. Christian Pulisic is yet to renew, Rafael Leao is subject to interest, Theo Hernandez already has one foot (and the rest) out of the door, and Mike Maignan may still be heading towards the door.
Almost half of the starting team. Without them, it’s rather bare in terms of quality and actual coverage. However, it could be for the best. Today, Fabrizio Biasin has spoken to TMW about the situation and how the reset may need to be extreme, as Milan News relays.
“Many are contesting Milan’s ‘All Out” (or almost). “They’re selling all the best players! Damn you!” Of course, it can’t please a fan to see big names sold or on the verge of being sold, but perhaps that’s what Milan needs to do to restore order after an unacceptable season: trust Allegri-Tare, reorganize, put together a team rather than a series of random players, however strong they may be.”
This cycle has ended, time to clean up. I only wish Milan would get at least 70mil for Leao, and combined 30mil for Maignan and Theo.
Reinvest, and let Allegri build new team from scratch. Allegri’s style might not be the prettiest, but he knows damn well how to win (6x Scudetto, 5x Coppa Italia).
“This cycle has ended” is a very poetic way to say that Redbird and its cast of clowns have burned down a functional and promising team.
Hahaha correct. Or you could say “This cycle has ended” every year. It took Redturd two-three years to dismantle a Scudetto winning team.
I think at least 40 mil for Maignan and Theo. They’re not crap, they just had bad seasons due to entitlement and arrogance. Less the case for Maignan, but we don’t have to sell for so cheap.
It being a world cup year counts massively in our favour. These players cannot afford to rot on the bench.
Can’t ask for more, nobody will pay and then they walk for free in January
Says who? Which cycle? Stop being losers that make up such stupid things. Allegri wants Leao and then there is a nobody telling that the cycle is is over. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I said that. You can see it by looking at the comment that is next to my nickname 😉 Bet you are not the sharpest one mate.
That every single one of the management team keeps their job simply goes beyond me. Zlatan, Furlani, Scaroni, Moncada, Kirovski… and they’re making it look as if this disaster was only the responsibility of the couple of mediocres coaches they decided to bring in and a handful of players.
Players who, by the way, used to perform at an elite level, at some point looked like they could become relevant players in Milan history and had significantly higher valuations before this disgrace of a management came in and rotted everything.
Zlatan is not part of the management, he is merely an advisor for RedBird.
A collection of random players it was. Rarely did they play as a team. Individual talent, no cohesion.
When they did play together, they beat Inter, beat Juventus and won a trophy, until they decided to turn the season on it’s head.
Simply because the cigar smoking winner challenged certain untouchables in the team including the captain el philomena.
It is always advised for coaches not to fight with their best players, but unfortunately at Milan, our best players are also our worst players, that’s an irony I suppose.
Your best players should be examples for the others both on and off the pitch.
Brazil lost it’s superpower status because their best players had questionable professional character issues.
