AC Milan’s summer mercato came to an end on Monday, with six signings eventually coming through the door.
The club welcomed defenders Theo Hernandez and Leo Duarte, midfielders Rade Krunic and Ismael Bennacer plus forwards Rafael Leao and Ante Rebic.
You can read our summary of the transfer window and all the official signings, but we asked the Milan fans for their opinions on the club’s business.
Via our Twitter account, we asked Milanisti to name their favourite signing of the summer, the worst signing, a player they wish we had signed and to rate the mercato out of 10 overall.

Below are some of the responses we received…
👍 Bennacer, rebic
👎 Krunic (backup player to benched by Borini) & Duarte (Milan don’t have starting material cb beside romagnoli, why signed him)
💭 Felipe Augusto/Jerome Boateng, Ribery, aouar, naby keita (paid loan,if kessie were sold)
🔢 6/10— Ong (@sacchiesque) September 3, 2019
👍 @IsmaelBennacer and @TheoHernandez
👎 Too early to judge but I think Krunic is not necessary let’s see if I’m wrong
💭 Ruben Neves as new MC
🔢 Overall rating 7/10— Shevchengol (@Shevchengol) September 3, 2019
👍🏻 Theo & Bennacer
👎🏻… 🤔 Krunic (but only because he wont play as much) Duarte is great cover and think he should play ahead of Mussacio. Better passer, faster and brings the play out (Lucio’esk)
💭… Never on the radar, but realistic @oscar8‼️

7/10— تيكوسماندو (@tikusmando) September 3, 2019
we know it’s hard one.
FFP restricting Management’s move in the market.
but I rate highly Bennacer,Theo,Rebic and Leao.
hope to see him fit to the team as soon as possible.
no super stars,but I think it’s enough for the first season of Maldini Boban leadership.— milanisti karbitan (@milan_karbitan) September 3, 2019
Best Signing: yet to confirm, but Ismael & Theo…
Worst signing: yet to confirm
Wished: a natural AMF & LW
Rating: 6.5— ahmed opeyemi muheez (@ViceroyMHz) September 3, 2019
9/10
Needed a veteran or Mezzala to be complete. Overall happy considering— TheCaptain©️ (@GattusoKick) September 3, 2019
Best signing: Bennacer without a doubt
Worst signing: Duarte don’t think he can sideline a crappy Musaccio
Wanted: Bakayoko
Grade: 7/10 The squad finally got rid of slotnof deadweight. I would have kept Zapata and lost Borini/Castilejo but the quality is higher at a lower wage— Andreas Klang (@KlangAndreas) September 3, 2019
👍 Best signing : Bennacer
👎 Worst signing : Theo (too expensive)
💭 A player you wish we had signed Isco/James
🔢 Overall rating 7/10— Robby Kurniawan (@RobbyKurniawanX) September 3, 2019
👍Best Bennacer
👎Worst Duarte
💭Wish Modric veteran presence/Skill = Ideal
🔢Overall 7/10
I like Leao trust he will be a beast, Theo Bennacer is good , hopefully Rebuc Pans out , Duarte is a good backup , Krunic is unproven , we needed a veteran superstar or two and I give 10— Veritas Quaesitor (@VerumVeritas3) September 3, 2019
👍 Bennacer.
👎 TBD, I’m leaning towards Leao based on his high price tag and lack of proven quality.
💭 Everton
