It seems the January mercato could be an active one for AC Milan, but the wheels will only start turning after the Supercoppa Italiana has been wrapped up.
The past few weeks have been rather hectic for Milan, and with a new head coach, the mercato could take a different route, in more ways than one. For example, Fikayo Tomori, who seemed firmly on his way out before the arrival of Sergio Conceicao, may not leave now, with the Portuguese wanting to assess him.
Incomings could also be affected, if systems differentiate, however, how much things shift will only be seen in time.
As Tuttosport (via Milan News) has reported though, the mercato will only begin to ‘take off’ after the finale of the Supercoppa on Monday. Presumably, a big reason for this is that it gives Conceicao a chance to see his team and wider squad in action, which allows an opportunity for assessments.
The main reason, according to the report, is that the schedule is busy, so focuses are being directed elsewhere. Nevertheless, the management are still keeping an eye on things, assessing what opportunities are possible.
It seems the hottest links now are the ones to Dani Olmo and Warren Bondo, with Randal Kolo Muani also being listed in the report as a possibility.
We have no foreign spots available, so why are we always looking at foreigners?? Makes absolutely no sense, why aren’t we looking at the Italians available???
Okafor, Chukwueze, Jovic and RLC will leave. Bondo, Olmo and Muani ALL have European passports.
I think of low possibility that any of players will leave now in january. First of all no one will pay for them and Milan cant find better and still cheap players for Okafor Chuku and RLC.
In summer maybe some changes happens.
we used only 1 non-EU slot this season. we can still sign 1 more. Emerson has Spanish passport, the rest were all EU
Chukwuking will not leave this January because of he is injured and it is difficult for any team to go after injured player.
Mercato or moncado we need concrete investment not petty amateur players.
hear me out:
RLC -> Ricci
Calabria/Royal -> Vanderson
Okafor -> Pepe
we actually done, after this!
Most of the players that are speculated to leave are injured, or just returning: Jovic, Loftus-Cheek, Chukwueze, Florenzi, Bennacer. Milan is in dire need of far better players than these. However, the coach is in a tight position. He has just little time to assess them, before making the decision on which players to push out, before the end of the winter transfer.
Jovic, Okafor and RLC should be fine for selling…
Florenzi will just collect his salary and leave in summer when his contract expires… so will Ballo-Toure
Origi will be the toughest one to sell in the next 3 transfer windows…
Chukuweuzi,okafo,RLC are better players if they are OK.problem of Milan is the right back should be like Cafu type and in the midfield we need technical support like Seedorf, Pirlo,Rui Costa type players. In the attack we need a goal machine like Pipo, Shevchenko, Kaka type.someties we release the wrong players like piatek,Maldini Jr,Colombo ,De katelaere etc. RLC can be central defender also.
