This will be a busy week for AC Milan as there are developments expected on numerous different fronts, according to a report.
Calciomercato.com report that the last few days of June are the ones that should finally provide answers and some certainty regarding Milan’s immediate future. After a month of stalemate and controversy following the victory of the Scudetto – culminating on missing out on Sven Botman after months of negotiating – developments are needed to put everyone at ease.
The renewals of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara should come first, as the directors will extend for another two years with an option on the third and a pay rise, so they can continue on a path that has proved successful.
One thing that could happen is a step forward in the pursuit of Renato Sanches, with Maldini and Massara waiting for the go-ahead to accelerate their pursuit of the Portuguese midfielder.
The arrival of Divock Origi should be made official. The Belgian striker accepted Milan months ago but his arrival in Italy has been postponed due to an injury that also prevented him from participating in the Champions League final. He will sign a four-year contract for €4m net per season, probably tomorrow or Wednesday.
Then there is the attack: Charles De Ketelaere is the favoured target but he would require a huge expense, exceeding the €30m that were set aside for Botman. New contacts between Milan and the agents of the young playmaker are expected in the coming days.
