AC Milan are expected to make several sales in the coming weeks, but as highlighted by a report, at least a couple of signings are needed as well. 

After the draws against Celtic and Inter, the result of so-so performances, Milan suffered a big defeat in their friendly against Chelsea yesterday (0-3). A lot of the Rossoneri’s flaws were highlighted, with a clear need for reinforcements before the season begins.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport this morning (via MilanNews), Milan have a surplus of about ten players, so many will have to leave between now and the end of the transfer window. However, this will also open up space for new signings, with some players targeted.

Four players targeted

For the defence, Goncalo Inacio (Sporting) remains on Milan’s wish list but his price tag of €40m is a problem, as per the newspaper. The Danish international Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille) could be the right signing for the midfield, and he has given his approval to the move already.

Further up the pitch, more specifically the attacking midfielder role, contacts took place with the agents of Matias Soule (Roma) and Dario Osorio (Midtjylland). Work is thus underway to reinforce the team, but first, sales are needed to make space and collect some cash.

Just two weeks remain until the season opener against Torino, so it would be fair to describe the situation as a race against time.

  1. In hindsight, we all see that Cardinale just went to overpay for Ramos, not just overpaying he just used up the whole transfer budget for one signing and we are stranded 😂, and now we don’t have anyone to help us offload deadweights.

    1. It was clear from the start that Ramos was just his way of showing-off and flexing, just a stunt, there was no real (long term) strategy behind that transfer move. We are stuck because he doesn’t know what to do next, he doesn’t have an idea what should be done in order to get the transfer window running again, he doesn’t possess the cure/remedy…

  2. Allegri used to ask for an experienced defender (preferably left-footed), a midfielder who could score goals, a physically strong forward, and a good fullback. Now, Amorim’s requests aren’t much different. This means AC Milan’s squad is truly lacking. The question is, will AC Milan’s executives meet Amorim’s requests?

  3. I think they just have to take small capital loss so they can attract offers for deadwood players.
    Players NEED to be sold
    Estupinian
    Gimenez
    Musah
    RLC
    Fofana
    Bondo
    Fillippo Terracciano
    Leao
    Chukwueze.
    Next season see if Jashari Ricci can continue to play for Milan if not sign new duo midfield.
    RN sell who ever has offer or enquires and try to bring players that Amorim will approve. Bc Hojbjerg isn’t Amorim type of player Soule is overpriced and Inacio isn’t suitable anymore since we got Diawara and we have Pavlovic

  4. Inacio is too expensive for us, I’m afraid. Get a free agent or some low-cost solution for a LWB, MC and SC and leave money for a DC and right AMC, it can still be done, there is time.

  5. The only point of articles like this can be to somehow boost the morale of the fans when it is completely clear that we are financially blocked and we have to sell players first!

  6. I don’t understand why we don’t get free agents in and blood the youth. Instead every season 20m mediocre players bought to give to depth to the squad but then they’re on the books. Maldini was right when he said we just need a couple of quality players in to raise the level. Since then we must have made 30/40 signings who weigh on the balance sheet, can’t be sold. Get the youth in do a season or 2 of free agents with experience and stockpile that cash to make some major moves by which point the kids will be well versed in seria a

    1. I am convinced that this club is a money laundering vehicle cus looking in hindsight, we could have built a solid half team if we took advantage of free transfers, but for some odd reasons we just seem to not be interested. Even players on a cheap that fan can immediately improve the team, we seem to not want, I just had to conclude that the owners don’t want the club to progress.

  7. Listen guys for a CB there is Alaba as a free agent ofc, there is also no question we need to sell estupinan immediately for his replacement a more attacking option would be mitoma from brigthon for a more defensive option you have Adria Pedrosa.
    As in for the attacking midfielder role soule fopr 40 mil is just not a good deal he gets injured way too often id rather go for Sancet a man proven of his ability.

  8. If Napoli resolves their Lukaku situation, there’s a strong possibility of a launch for Rabiot. And if we lose The Duke then our midfield is toast.

  9. The financial paralysis resulting from the slow pace of player sales will often lead to entering the season with a tactically deficient squad, placing the coach under pressure to deliver results with an incomplete roster. However, the club is committed to maintaining its financial stability and has a clear roadmap outlining its technical needs in terms of players and positions. The expected scenario is a late sale of one player for a moderate fee, followed by finalizing only one of the three deals (likely a loan with an option to buy), and resorting to makeshift solutions for the other two positions.
