A lot of the emphasis going into the summer window will be about additions to try complete the AC Milan squad, but there could also be a fight to keep some of the best players.
As this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, the plan is for the Milan management to spend around €100m on bringing in three or four top quality reinforcements during the summer.
The main positions that they will focus on are of course the centre-forward and centre-back roles, but another midfield is expected to arrive who can play in front of the defence as well as a full-back too.
However, the paper reports that the ‘alpha and omega’ of the summer transfer window are the dynamics that revolve around Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao, the three players with the most value in the squad.
All are being watched closely by Europe’s top clubs, with PSG interested in all three of them, while it is worth mentioning that the French duo Theo have contracts expiring in 2026 and renewals remain ‘a delicate chapter’.
The feeling is that at least one big offer will arrive for one of those players, and at that point what will Milan do? With Sandro Tonali a year ago, they pressed the green button without thinking too much.
