SM: Elliott ready to provide a big budget for Milan’s summer mercato – the details

AC Milan are planning a summer transfer window that sees the squad move up a level in terms of quality, and there should be a good budget available to help do that.

Thanks to our colleagues over at SempreMilan.it, we have gained some insight into what the current thoughts of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are ahead of what will be a crucial summer mercato, as they all are.

There are changes expected in each department from the defence to the midfield through to the forwards, with the aim to give Stefano Pioli a squad capable of reaching the next steps: to win the league title and to get through the group stages of the Champions League.

You can read more about the moves planned here, while we have also gained some insight as to the budget that Elliott Management intend to make available. The American fund are inclined to allocate around €70-80m for the upcoming mercato, excluding the proceeds from possible sales.
