CM: Cardinale meets the management – mercato budget among issues discussed

Gerry Cardinale landed in Italy on Monday and he held a ‘very important’ meeting with the AC Milan management regarding the summer transfer window, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com confirm the report that first came from Sky last night claiming that Cardinale was in Italy and that he had spoken with the Milan directors in what was described as a ‘marathon meeting’ about strategy for the days and weeks to come.

Cardinale ‘landed in great secrecy’ but was already in Europe for other business and chose to add a quick visit to Milano to his agenda. At around 1pm he met with Paolo Scaroni, Giorgio Furlani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada and it lasted for several hours.

The main topic of discussion was obviously the mercato and the various negotiations that are ongoing, but there was also an outlining of the programme for the season, one which sees Milan celebrate their 125th anniversary.

Calciomercato.com add that the management have asked for further margins on the budget to be spent on signings. The vision will remain to focus on the signing of young and talented players to develop, but some experienced profiles can arrive if they are the right ones, like Alvaro Morata.
