We have arrived at the penultimate game of the season, and as highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, it’s an important one for the Champions League race.
With four games remaining, Milan are five points ahead of Como in fifth place. That gap could be extended to eight points today, as Cesc Fabregas’ side drew against Napoli last night, and the Rossoneri could also leapfrog the Partenopei in the standings.
Massimiliano Allegri highlighted the importance of today’s game during his presser yesterday, and it’s hard to disagree. While a win wouldn’t be enough to secure top four today, they would be very close (especially if Roma were to drop points tomorrow).
Gazzetta dello Sport’s headlines
Front page
👀 “Como-Napoli without goals, Milan and Juventus today.”
💰 “Allegri: the Champions League shifts €100m.”
Spread on Milan’s mercato
💰 “€100m for a great Milan. Allegri’s push: a top-class mercato with the Champions League.”
📋 “Gila, Goretzka, Sorloth, and a versatile wing-back on the list.”
Focus on Pulisic and Nkunku
🔁 “Pulisic heads for the bench. Chance for Nkunku after almost a month.”
😕 “Captain America is struggling. The Frenchman returns to playing up front with Leao.”
“Gila, Goretzka, Sorloth, and a versatile wing-back on the list.” – being a top-class mercato, says many things…
Sorloth and Goretzka are good for depth which we need but we still need another pair of more quality players.
if we get these 4 before the WC (Gila and Goretzka were said to be being worked on right this moment). Grimaldo and Sorloth aren’t that sought out players, with the prior also potentially missing out on WC. ~60M can get us all 3 and the good part is that we are getting 40M guaranteed. Leao, Chukwueze, RLC, Estupinan and Musah sales on top can finance the rest of the 2 signings.
Leao sales… 😀
People cant understand player worth 20 million in books and 26 years old cant be sold just for peanuts, and later no adequate signing.
What newspaper said is, Milan will keep current squad with acquisitions of Sorloth, Gila, Goretzka and wingback in situation that they reach ucl.
Who can be sold?. Pulisic no Leao no, probably one of Nkunku Gimenez. And maybe none of them because of European games.
Than 1 midfield could be sold. Like Fofana…
Milan will focus to sell Loaned players who return, like Chuku, Bennacer, Musah or and send them again on loan.
Because their capital gain can reach 50 million plus ucl 60 to 80 million, which is fine for investments.
Maybe we weren’t scoring because the ball can’t get to the goal if Modric is holding it for the whole time…
